Any of the terminal or smaller branches of an axon that terminates with specialized ending that releases neurotransmitters. Telodendria originally refer to the terminal branches of dendrites, now they refer to the main or terminal arborization of an axon. Word origin: Greek tÃ©los (end) + Greek dÃ©ndron (tree).
Permineralization is one of the ways in which a plant or animal can be turned into a fossil. During this process, mineral rich water seeps into the void spaces of an organism, leaving deposits of minerals behind that slowly build up, creating a cast of the organism.
definition : fossilization Fossils (from Classical Latin fossilis; literally, obtained by digging) are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record.
