How do tracks and burrows end up in the rock and fossil record?
They become trace fossils, which tell a lot about an animal without showing any part of the animal. If they were left in mud, they harden, becoming a fossil.
What type of fossil is formed by resin sediments that have hardened in a hollow space?
frozen fossil
How do fossil seashells get in sedimentary rock?
When an animal with a shell dies, its shell settles at the bottom of the body of water it lived in. Over time, the shell becomes buried with layer after layer of sediments. The sediments may become compacted and undergo the process of lithification, becoming rock.
How are brachiopods found?
In fossil form? If so, in a range of fossil sediments! They are some of the most common fossils (In Paleozoic deposits anyway)
Is mummification a way for a trace fossil to be created?
No, a trace fossil is a fossil of biological activity. Therefore, it cannot be mummified, because it is not of an actual organism. Examples of trace fossils include: footprints, burrows, etc.

How is the absolute age of the fossil different from the relative age?
Absolute age is the definite age of a fossil, while relative age is an estimated age according to the sediments and other fossils around the fossil.

No, a trace fossil is a fossil of biological activity. Therefore, it cannot be mummified, because it is not of an actual organism. Examples of trace fossils include: footprints, burrows, etc.
Describe three types of trace fossil?
a trace fossil is like cast, mold, or trace fossil
What is a type of fossil that is not an organism?
one is a trace fossil and the other is fulgerties. im really sure about this answer too
Which type of fossil forms when organisms hard parts dissolve and leave a cavity that later fills with sediments?
Cast
How casts are formed?
a mold fossil was filled by sediments or other rocks and hardened, creating an exact copy of the creature
