👉 The term "diagenetically" refers to a process where organic materials are broken down and replaced by new substances over time. This type of process is often associated with processes such as fossilization, decomposition, or chemical weathering. In these scenarios, organic matter (such as plants, animals, or even bacteria) breaks down into smaller particles known as "fossil fuels" (like carbon dioxide), which are then released back into the environment through various means like volcanic eruptions or natural processes.
