Which type of fossil forms when an organisms hard parts dissolve and leave a cavity that later fills with sedim?
Cast :)
Which type of fossil forms when an organisms hard parts dissolve and leave a cavity that laters fills with sediment?
Cast
What type of organism is the most fossil evidence available?
Organisms with hard parts such as a mineralized shell, like a trilobite or ammonite, are much more likely to become fossilized than animals with only soft parts.
Which fossil type could contain preserved parts of a organism?
It is called a mold fossil, which can become a cast fossil. After the soft parts of the animal rot away, a cavity remains (the mold fossil) which becomes filled with hardened sand or mud (the cast fossil).
What do most protist heterotrophs eat?
These organisms eat other organisms, parts or product of other organisms or the remains of the organisms

Why the fossil records is not complete?
organisms tend to decay before becoming a fossil. animals with hard parts are preserved more easily. geological processes may destroy fossils.
Why do we not have many fossil records from Precambrian era?
Most life-forms were single celled, with no hard parts to fossilize.
Why do we not have many fossil records from the Precambrian era?
Most life-forms were single celled, with no hard parts to fossilize.
Why do you not have many fossil records from the Precambrian era?
Most life-forms were single-celled, with no hard parts to fossilize.
What part of the fossil is found?
Harder parts of organisms become fossils. For example vasculature in plants and bones of animals are best preserves in the fossils.
What type of fossil forms when pore spaces of the original hard parts of an animal are filled in by minerals?
A cast fossil is formed when minerals fill in an impression left by an organism.
A footprint of an extinct dinosaur is an example of a fossil?
Yes, footprints that are preserved in rock, such as those of extinct dinosaurs, are fossils. Such fossils are known as ''trace fossils'' , as opposed to ''body fossils'' which are fossilized remnants of the hard parts of these ancient organisms.
The fossil record is incomplete because?
The fossil record is incomplete because: A.) very few organisms were preserved as fossils. B.) organisms tend to decay before becoming a fossil. C.) animals with hard parts are preserved more easily. D.) geological processes may destroy fossils. E.) all of these. ALL OF THESE!
