Usually the remains of dead plants and animals quickly decay and are
destroyed. When the remains are protected from scavengers and
micro-organisms, however, they can become fossilized.
If a carcass is in water and sinks to the bottom, the body can be
buried by sediment. Soft parts, such as skin, muscle, or organs decay
rapidly and are rarely found as fossils. The hard parts (bones, shells,
or teeth) may be altered to become fossilized remains. When water
penetrates the bones of a dead animal, the water dissolves the calcium
carbonate in the bones. A deposit of another very hard mineral, silica
(quartz) remains, turning the bones into a petrified (rock-like) substance.
When an organism is buried under many layers of sediment,
pressure and heat may build up, leaving a thin film of carbon residue
on rock surfaces. The residue forms an outline of the organism. The
outline is called a carbonaceous film.

Preserved bones and tracks are two types of fossils. Describe three other types of fossils?
Three other types of fossils include molds, casts, and amber fossils. Molds are formed when an organism leaves an impression in sediment, creating a hollow shape. Casts occur when that mold is filled with minerals or sediment, resulting in a replica of the original organism. Amber fossils are created when small organisms, like insects, are trapped in tree resin that hardens over time, preserving them in remarkable detail.
What are the types of fossils?
molds and casts, trace fossils, petrified wood, and carbon filmThe four types of fossils are mold fossils, cast fossils, true-form fossils, and trace fossils. Mold fossils are impressions from when the plant or animal first decomposed. Cast fossils are plant or animal remains. True-form fossils are remaining body parts from an animal. Trace fossils are marks that have been left by animal, such as footprints.
