Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Fossilification

👉 Fossilification is a scientific process that occurs in rocks and minerals when they have been exposed to heat, pressure or other environmental factors for an extended period of time. It refers to the transformation of organic materials into minerals through chemical reactions. This process can occur at different stages from metamorphism, during which the rock becomes more solid and hard, to igneous petrology, where it is transformed into a new mineral.
