Are fossils made from rocks?
Fossils are made of rock yes. Most commonly this happens when a living organism (plant or animal) dies and its body is buried in mud before it has a chance to decay. The mud hardens into rock quickly, while the dead body slowly breaks down and leaves behind a hollow impression in the now solid rock around it. This kind of fossil is called a mold fossil, as the hollow remains empty like a jello mold. A cast fossil is when later other mineral rich water fills up the mold eventually turning the hollow into a solid rock of a different kind than the rock around it. Trace fossils are made in the same way but come from things made by a living organism such as footprints or tracks, burrows or nests, eggshells and droppings. These fossils are not of the animal itself but preserve evidence of the animal behavior.
