What three features must a fossil have a order to be an index fossil?
* the organism must be common in rocks from most of the world *the organism must have lived for only a geologically short period of time( a few million years to a few hundred million years) *the organism must be easy to identify.(trilobites and ammonites are 2 kinds of organisms that are used as index fossils).
How is a cast mold fossil of a clam different then the organism?
They are different because casts and molds are just an imprint (or a copy) of the organism's body. The soft parts of the organism would most likely decay, and the shell, bones, or just the outer hard parts would be fossilized.
