    GlossaryMineralization

    process where minerals deposit in tissues, hardening them

    Mineralization is the process by which organic material becomes impregnated with minerals, often leading to the hardening or fossilization of tissues. In biology, it commonly refers to the deposition of minerals like calcium and phosphate in bones and teeth, making them strong and rigid. This process is crucial for the development and maintenance of the skeletal system.
