Grass Phytoliths

Grass Phytoliths is a type of plant silica body formed through the biomineralization of silicic acid within the cellular structures of grasses (Poaceae), distinguished by its taxon-specific morphological characteristics that persist in archaeological and paleoenvironmental records for the identification of past grass presence and ecological conditions.
