| Lithification, the process by which sediment is converted into solid sedimentary rock, is one result of diagenesis. |
| The rock you are standing on was formed by the lithification of sediment deposited in a warm tropical ocean that once covered this area 450 million years ago. |
| He concluded that lithification of the powdery material produced the orange sinters. |
| Sometime after lithification of the soft carbonate sediment, dissolution of gypsum took place, selectively producing vast numbers of molds of gypsum nodules. |
| Limestones originate mainly through the lithification of loose carbonate sediments. |
| The conversion of sediment to rock is termed lithification. |
