terms:diagenesis
The chemical, physical, and biological changes that a sediment undergoes after initial deposition and burial that convert the sediment to consolidated rock and/or result in the creation of some forms of porosity. Such changes might result from compaction, cementation, recrystallization or replacement, but exclude metamorphism and fracturing resulting from tectonic stresses.
