Dans la pratique du langage, la micritisation traduit la transformation observable à la loupe ou au microscope optique d'un objet en «micrite». [...] l'utilisation du terme «micritisation» consiste à pronostiquer le sens de la transformation sans avoir pu percevoir la structure de l'état transformé; en effet, elle suggère a priori une décroissance de la taille des cristaux. 1, record 1, French, - micritisation
