fossilisation BrE

Fossilization can sometimes be a trace, an impression of a form.

It deals with fossilization and is recommended for children over the age of 8.

Their fragile bones were not likely to survive to fossilization.

Still, when it comes to modern fossilization, the conditions don't get much better than this.

Biological mineralization can also take place as a result of fossilization.

Within the layered materials, there is often a sense of both fragmentation and fossilization.

Though found articulated, the bones were badly crushed during fossilization.

When a learner's speech plateaus in this way it is known as fossilization.

Also, certain fossils have been found in caves where the dry and cold conditions allow for good fossilization.

Depending on the process of fossilization, they will have certain characteristics:

It used to be thought that they had webbed hands, but this was an artifact of the fossilization process.

Most fundamentally, there are two types of plant resin with the potential for fossilization.

Learn more about the T-Rex and fossilization in this video.

This occurs when the fossilization potential varies from group to group.

In the fossilization process, minerals replace the constituents of bones, turning them to stone.

He uses his reverse fossilization machine on Bender, who is transformed into a human.

The body length and width is noted to probably be larger than in life due to crushing during fossilization.

Petrifaction is the replacement of organic matter by minerals in fossilization.

Fossilization processes proceed differently according to tissue type and external conditions.

Fossilization is almost always a sign of ambivalence.

Acculturation theory and linguistic fossilization: A comparative case study.

That was why she had not let herself remember that igneous rock would never be involved with fossilization.

The few examples from the location are badly crushed or have been altered due to pressure during fossilization.

Just how these tissues were preserved is a very good question, one that may lead scientists to re-examine their theories of fossilization.

They're not a microcrystalline formation or an artifact of fossilization.

The exoskeleton was very thin and easily distorted from fossilisation.

Even so, very few of these perished in the exact physical and chemical conditions necessary for fossilisation.

Four famous locations that have the most suitable conditions for fossilisation are explored.

However, this is now thought to result from the loss of the wall separating paired guard cells during fossilisation.

In such conditions, animal bones of any kind degrade very fast, and no fossilisation occurs.

Homeostasis is not fossilisation but the balance of vitality.

Living bone contains very low levels of uranium, but during fossilisation (typically less than 1000 years after death), this level increases.

Another reason may be that most asteroids live on hard substrates where conditions are not favourable for fossilisation.

The fossil suffered a large amount of distortion during the time of fossilisation and discovery.

This suggests that high salinity was one of the causes of the superb fossilisation.

Possibly because it lacks the right conditions for fossilisation, only fragments of bone and a few vertebrae have been found there.

The possession of an exoskeleton also permits a couple of other routes to fossilisation.

Yet, when the dream did come, it returned with all its old force, the fossilisation of all memory and all conscience.

Fossilisation is a rare event, and most fossils are destroyed by erosion or metamorphism before they can be observed.

Fossilisation only happens in the rarest of cases, when a plant or animal dies in the right circumstances.

Their aragonitic shells are not prone to fossilisation.

Bog-wood is usually stained brown by tannins dissolved in the acidic water, and represents an early stage of fossilisation.

Dinosaurs have featured it our folklore - learn more our ancestors beliefs before we understood fossilisation and evolution.

Storms may trap the animals in their burrows, and the mineral-rich nature of the sediments leads to very rapid fossilisation.

Fossilisation, all branches.

The usual explanation is that numbers were driven so low that their chance of fossilisation were extremely low.

While usually only biomineralised material survives fossilisation, the preservation of soft tissue is not as rare as sometimes thought.

Now it appears that nothing can prevent the enthusiastic fossilisation of all that remains of the revolutionary structures of 1919-39.

Endocasts can be man-made for examining the properties of a hollow, inaccessible space, or occur naturally through fossilisation.

The uranium atoms in bone decay spontaneously to lead over time and, once fossilisation is complete, the uranium-lead "clock" starts ticking.
