Which type fossil is formed when an organism gets trapped in a developing rock layer and then decays away leaving an imprint of what the organism looked like?

A mold is a fossil created by the encasement of an organism in rock, where the organism decays away after solidification of the encasing structure, leaving behind an impression of the original organism. An additional stage is a cast, where the mold is back filled by sedements to create a solid model of the original organism.

Wadding, or filling, will trap pockets of air. As the air is trapped, it cannot convect heat so easily, and it is also more difficult for heat to be conducted. So, trapped air is a good insulator.

False
What must usually happen in order for a dead organism to be preserved as a fossil?
B. The organism must be buried in sediment soon after it dies.C - the organism must go through a process of petrificationNeededMoist sediment or soilorganism trapped, dieslack of anything disturbing that areamoistness ; warmth ; heat to break down additional layeringpressure from more layers on toplengthy amount of time (millions of years)
What are two way an organism can become a fossil without being buried in sediment?
By getting trapped in a tar pit.By getting stuck in tree sap.
What is honeycombing in cement?
Honeycombing - is pockets of air trapped during the mixing process. The air-pockets stay in the mixture while it hardens - leaving a weaker area where the honeycombing has occured.

Pour into a sieve or colander, the sand will pass through the open mesh, leaving the larger marbles trapped inside the sieve.
Why is sea water trapped in huge shallow pools and not small deep pools?
The reason seawater is trapped in huge shallow pools in stead of small deep ones is beacause huge shallow pools has a larger surface area, allowing the water to evaporate quicker leaving the salt behiend.
How do salts get removed from the seawater?
Seawater is trapped in huge areas called saltpans with every change of tide and also by using pumps. The water gets evaporated leaving salt behind.
