Any of the terminal or smaller branches of an axon that terminates with specialized ending that releases neurotransmitters. Telodendria originally refer to the terminal branches of dendrites, now they refer to the main or terminal arborization of an axon. Word origin: Greek tÃ©los (end) + Greek dÃ©ndron (tree).
Permineralization is one of the ways in which a plant or animal can be turned into a fossil. During this process, mineral rich water seeps into the void spaces of an organism, leaving deposits of minerals behind that slowly build up, creating a cast of the organism.
1 There are two main types of fossils: body fossils (an actual organism) and trace fossils (evidence of an organism). 2  Mold and cast fossils are when an organism leaves an imprint. 3  Permineralization is when sediment enters the pores of the organism, replacing tissue and creating a replica organism.
