The weathered niches were partially formed by salt crystal growth.

风态位部分 是由盐晶体长形成。

Many crystals don’t form geometric shapes because they grow in extremely close quarters with other crystals.

许多晶体不会形成几何形状，因为它们与其他晶体长在非常接近区域。

And in replacement, water dissolves the original minerals making up the remains and then crystals grow into the spaces.

作为替代，水溶解了构成残骸原始矿物质，然后晶体长到空间中。

Previous studies had hypothesized that minor components could either help or hinder the crystallization process, by creating or blocking sites for crystal growth.

之前已有研，微量组分可以产或堵塞晶体长位点，从而促进或阻碍结晶过程。

There's a variety of fossilization processes and the most common is permineralization, where crystals grow into the pore spaces within the hard parts of an animal.

石过程有很多种，最常见是全矿，即晶体长到动物坚硬部位孔隙中。
