This may also be a normal biological process which takes place during the life of an organism such as the formation of bone tissue or egg shells. Alternatively, it may be a process which begins after death and burial within Sediment s by the total replacement of the organic material with various minerals known as Fossilization . Frequently this involves either Calcite or Quartz , but many other minerals such as Pyrite may be involved. Mineralization is also used to describe the Hydrothermal deposition of economically important Metal s in the formation of Ore bodies. |
