Definition of silicify in English:

silicify

verbsilicified, silicifying, silicifies sɪˈlɪsɪfʌɪsəˈlɪsəˌfaɪ
[with object]
  • Convert into or impregnate with silica.

    the calcareous skeleton has been silicified
    Example sentencesExamples
    • Bedding planes in the enclosing limestones do not bend around the nodules, and any brachiopods, corals, or other fossils that are in them have been silicified.
    • The limestones, which have been silicified near the granodiorite contact, have in places been intensely metamorphosed into a typical contact-metasomatic assemblage.
    • Morphologically, it is difficult to relate the silicified microbes to the unsilicified or partly silicified microbes.
    • For most large deposits of agate or silicified wood, silica was derived from the decomposition of volcanic rocks.
    • Where the Zeederbergs-Cheshire contact lacks ironstone horizons, the contact is variably sheared, and adjacent rocks are silicified and characterized by mostly oxidized sulphide impregnation.
    • Highly silicified stalks to 10 cm in diameter have been found at this locality.
    • In many places, the top of the ‘lower Gasconade’ is marked by a heavy chert zone comprising silicified algae and/or stromatolites.
    • The nodules are approximately spherical in shape and have an exterior shell of rhyolite that is more silicified than the host rock.
    • Mite wood borings in the Paleozoic are primarily known from coal ball permineralizations and silicified peat which was deposited in swampy environments.
    • However, it has been pointed out that the presence of the articulamentum layer is often difficult to detect in the early fossils, since many Paleozoic polyplacophorans are silicified and incompletely preserved.
    • Silica cells were silicified in the first year, and the frequency was not significantly different among the three leaf ages.
    • Later, authigenic quartz was precipitated and carbonate phases were partly silicified.
    • In the high - porosity laminae, individual silicified microbes remain clearly visible and their general morphology and size readily apparent.
    • Trace amounts of iron oxide impart vibrant red, red-orange, orange, and yellow colors that sometimes contrast markedly with browns and blacks in these silicified trunks.
    • The entire fragment is silicified and details of its skeletal structure have been destroyed.
    • This highly silicified cycad contained bright red-orange to black, diamond-shaped leaf bases of chalcedony up to several centimeters across separated by zones of greenish-yellow chalcedony.
    • They are largely silicified replacements of the once opaline skeletons, but details of their spicular and skeletal relationships are moderately well preserved.
    • Cooccurring macrofossils include 18 species of agnostoid and polymeroid trilobites, some of which are partly silicified.
    • The discovery that silicified trilobites could be dissolved out of limestone in dilute acid added more knowledge more quickly than years of patient preparation from crack-out specimens.
    • Bryozoan and trilobite fragments, brachiopod spines, turrilepadid plates, and multiplacophoran spines are silicified.

Derivatives

  • silicification

  • noun sɪlɪsɪfɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)nˌsɪləsəfəˈkeɪʃ(ə)n
    • The sediments were transformed into tectonic ironstones upon shearing and associated silicification.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • It is probable that the original composition was calcium phosphate, and some secondary silicification has taken place.
      • The details of the ornamentation are obscured by the coarseness of the silicification on some specimens.
      • The formation of botryoidal aragonite and clotted micrite was followed by silicification of carbonate phases and precipitation of authigenic quartz.
      • The taxonomic fidelity of silicified microbes will depend on the rate of silicification and the factors that control that process.
