Definition of silicification in English English dictionary

impregnation with silica; petrification

The act or process of combining or impregnating with silicon or silica; the state of being so combined or impregnated: "silicification of wood"

Thae act or process of combining or impregnating with silicon or silica; the state of being so combined or impregnated; as, the silicification of wood

Process whereby silica replaces the original material of a substance For example, silicified wood

The introduction of, or replacement by, silica, esp in the form of fine-grained quartz, chalcedony, or opal, which may fill pores and replace existing minerals
