Which word means the remains or imprints of once-living organisms found in layers of rock?
Fossil.
What is the difference between a fossil and an imprint?
A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a once-living organism, while an imprint is a mark or indentation left behind by an organism on a surface. Fossils can include imprints, but not all imprints are considered fossils. Fossils provide more detailed information about the organism's structure and biology, while imprints are more surface-level.
Is there anything such as fossil of sponges?
yes, but they are only usually imprints as sponges decompose after a certain amount of time
How is a fossil created?
Fossils are created by the mineralization of the remains of dead organisms, especially their skeletons. Sometimes there are fossil imprints where remains were pressed into rock, ash, or sediment that later hardened. More rarely, an animal part decomposes and the space is filled to form a cast impression. (see the related link)
What fossil does cranidios evolve form?

How can one identify a fossil rock?
To identify a fossil rock, look for imprints or remains of ancient plants or animals embedded in the rock. Fossil rocks often have distinct shapes or textures that differ from the surrounding rock. Additionally, you can use tools like a magnifying glass or a field guide to help identify the specific type of fossil present in the rock.
What is the correct definition of the word fossil?
A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, typically found in sedimentary rock. These remnants can include bones, shells, imprints, or even traces of behavior, such as footprints. Fossils provide valuable insights into the history of life on Earth and the evolution of species over time. They are formed through processes like mineralization, where organic material is replaced by minerals, or through the preservation of imprints in sediment.
What is the plural form of the word fossil?
The plural of fossil is fossils.
What is a hardened and preserved foot print an example of?
A hardened and preserved footprint is an example of a fossilized trace fossil. Trace fossils are marks or imprints left behind by ancient organisms, providing insights into their behaviors and interactions with their environment.
What is the opposite of fossils?
the opposite of a fossil is what i just seen. where the imprints are opposite but exprints, it is like the original fossil, or piece of fossilized flesh was somehow reheated bent and refossilized again. so it is per say " inside out " you need to see a picture to understand. it is see through like an aggot. but has the oldest fossil properties.
What are mold and cast fossils?
A fossil mold is formed by the impression left in rock by the remains of an organism. A cast fossil occurs when the mold is filled in by precipitating minerals.
