How does a cast fossil form?
When the animal dies its skeleton settles on the sea floor and is buried by sediment. that thickens and begins to turn to stone. The skeleton dissolves and a mold is formed. Minerals crystallize inside the mold and the cast is formed.
Why cant igneous rock turn into sedimentay rock?
Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.
What is the name of the process in which sediment turn into rock?

How a sedimentary rock can turn into a igneous rock?
it gets weathered into sediment, then it gets washed into the ocean, sediment layers up over millions of years, and it gets squashed into sedimentery rock, then metamorphic and so on.
