Phytolith analysis, 1988:p. 1 (At one time or another called opal phytoliths, silica phytoliths, silica cells, plant opals, biogenic opal, or simply phytoliths) p. 11 (The term phytolith, from the Greek meaning plant stone, has sometimes been used to indicate all forms of mineralized substances secreted by higher plants, be they siliceous or calcereous in composition.)
found: Phytolith systematics, 1992:p. 1 (Phytoliths are botanical microfossils that can provide significant paleoenvironmental and archaeobotanical information. Paleoliths are here defined as mineral deposits that form in and between plant cells ... Calcium deposits usually are crystalline ... Opaline silica deposits are generally amorphous in nature.)
