Creation of bone tissue during fetal development of jawed vertebrates, as well as during the healing of bone fractures; the tissue forms from mesenchymal stem cells residing in an extracellular matrix devoid of collagen.

Note: Intramembrous ossification is one of two mechanisms of bone formation, the other being endochondral ossification.
