Answer:

this is a process of fossilization in which mineral deposits from internal casts of organisms. when carried by water, these minerals fill the spaces within organic tissues. examples are most dinosaur bones, petrified wood and many trilobite fossils

Step-by-step explanation:

when an organism is berried, the minerals which are carried by water, for example, silica, calcite or pyrite will replace the organic material in the fossil.
