Permineralized fossil | When an organisms tissues are replaced by minerals from water |
Cast and mold | When an organism leaves behind an impression of its body in sediment. The impression is the mold when sediment fills the impression it forms a cast in life shape of the original organism |
Trace fossil- | A record of the activity of an organisms food plate, scratches and fossilized dung |
Tar pit fossil | When animals get stuck in tar |
Frozen fossil | When animals get frozen bro dumb nigga |
Carbonized fossil | So basically there is like a lot of carbon and there is pressure from sediment but up above it leaving only the carbon as a thick black film |
Amber fossil | When an organism gets stuck in tree sap |
