Which of these processes is NOT a step of fossilization? An organism or its traces become covered by sediments, mud, or ash. Sediments quickly accumulate on top of the remains, and resulting pressure quickly transforms the mineralized remains into rock. Groundwater seeps into the remains, and minerals dissolved in the water gradually replace minerals in bones and other hard tissues. Mineral particles that crystalize inside cavities and impressions form detailed imprints of internal and external structures.
