Diagenesis is the hidden engine that reshapes sediments after deposition, turning loose grains into rock and setting the stage for oil and gas, while also altering ancient bones. We unpack the core processes—compaction, water–rock interactions, and microbial activity—and dive into replacement (permineralization), the oil window, and the stages of diagenesis from early to deep burial. We also explore how diagenesis preserves or erases skeletal material, influencing dating and isotope work. A compact tour of how this single process links rocks, fuels, and fossils, sponsored by Embersilk.
