fossil calcification is when the calcium in a bone intergests and causes the bone to rott away. the calcium in a bone desintergrates leaving only the fossil behind.
Assuming you meant a dinosaur fossil and an insect fossilized in amber, the difference is that the soft tissues of the insect remain whereas the dinosaur fossil shows only hard tissues such as bone and tooth. Additionally, the insect fossil is the actual insect, wheras the dinosaur fossil is a stone formation that was created by rock replacing the bones of the dinosaur.
