| 11. | Another interpretation of these structures is fossilization.
|
| 12. | Depictions are necessarily conjectural, because petrification and other fossilization mechanisms do not preserve colors.
|
| 13. | The fossilization began when the water receded.
|
| 14. | Sometimes, though, fossilization can begin fast enough to prevent the eggs from being cracked.
|
| 15. | The spores showed considerable damage from both the fossilization process and the subsequent weathering and specimen collection.
|
| 16. | Since phosphate is mobile only in organic form this suggests the eggs were already decaying before fossilization.
|
| 17. | Deprived of oxygen the wood undergoes the process of fossilization and a long process of morta formation.
|
| 18. | Still, when it comes to modern fossilization, the conditions don't get much better than this.
|
| 19. | Despite this effort, there still is a good deal of distortion from the fossilization processes that took place.
|
| 20. | As soft parts are not prone to fossilization, little can be surmised as to their soft part anatomy.
