Question

............ is a process of fossilisation that occurs when an organism is buried.

• A. Humification
• B. Permineralization
• C. Vermicomposting
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Permineralization

Permineralization:- A process of fossilization in which mineral deposits form internal casts of organisms. Carried by water, these minerals fill the spaces within organic tissue.

This occurs when the pores of the plant materials, bones, and shells are impregnated by mineral matter from the ground, lakes, or ocean. In some cases, the wood fibers and cellulose dissolve and some minerals replace them.

So, the correct answer is "Permineralization".
