To become a rock, mud must first undergo the process of lithification. This would involve the subsequent covering of the mud with additional sediments. If the weight of those sediments becomes great enough, the pressure will squeeze out the air and water from between the small clay and silt particles that the mud is composed of. Eventually, minerals will precipitate out of the remaining water, crystallizing to form a cement that holds the clay and silt particles together as a new sedimentary rock.

Which type of fossil is formed when an entire organism is filled with materials such as mud or clay and then hardens the entire organism and the filling?
The fossil that is formed when an organism is buried in sediment and hardens into rock is called a cast fossil, in which the empty space serves as a mold.
How might a small fish that dies in a pool become a fossil?
When an organism is buried it is usually in sedementary rock, which is sof and layered. Over time the layers of sedements compact and can soak into the bones of an organism. As the bones are put under extreme pressure the become more like rocks and are thus presserved.
What are the steps necessary for a fossil cast to form?
Molds and casts are a third method of fossil preservation. Molds form after hard parts have been buried in mud, clay, or other material that turns to stone. Later, water dissolves the buried hard part, leaving only an impression or mold of the original. When this mold is filled with new material, a cast of the original is formed.
What is a fossil evidence of?
A fossil is evidence of a once living animal. A fossil is created when an animal dies in a mud or other soft dirt or sediment. Over time, the animal will decompose and leave the bones. Over time, these bones will get covered by dirt, rocks water, etc. After a couple thousand years the bones will get compressed into sediment, waiting to be discovered. Something similar to a fossil is and imprint. This is where an impression of a plant or animal is pushed into a soft sediment and hardens.
Why is mud heterogeneous?
Mud contain two phases: liquid and solid.
How can a print turn into a fossil?
The mud dries gets covered over and eventually when enough heat and pressureare applied dirt turns to rock hence fossil
What fossil makes an impression in the mud?

If a bird leaves a footprint in the mud the mud hardens what kind of fossil is this?
This would be considered a trace fossil, specifically a "ichnofossil" which is a fossilized footprint, burrow, or other trace left by an organism rather than the remains of the organism itself.
How is a whole fossil formed?
It is made by mud and dead plants. They then dry.
What is a kind of fossil where a plant or animal leave an impression in the mud?
Full
Can sand turn into mud?
Yes, sand can turn into mud when mixed with water. Water breaks down the sand particles and creates a mixture that has the properties of mud.
A kind of fossil were an animal or plant leaves only its body impression in the mud?
A fossil of this type is called an impression fossil. It forms when an organism's body creates an imprint in soft mud or sediment, which then hardens into rock and preserves the shape of the organism but not its actual remains. These fossils provide important information about ancient organisms and their environments.
