Mineralization (geology)
- For other uses, see Mineralization
In geology, mineralization is the hydrothermal deposition of economically important metals in the formation of ore bodies or "lodes".
The first scientific studies of this process took place in Cornwall, United Kingdom by J.W.Henwood FRS and later by R.W. Fox, FRS [1].
The term can also refer to the process by which sediments replace organic material within the body of an organism that has died and was buried by sediments.
