What is fossil evidence of an organism but is not made of the organism itself?
trace
What kind of fossil is evidence of an organism but not made of the organism itself?
A trace fossil is evidence of an organism's activity (like footprints, burrows, or coprolites) but is not made of the organism itself. Trace fossils provide valuable information about the behavior and ecology of ancient organisms.
A worm leaves a mark in the sediments as it burrows and searches for food what type of fossil would this become?
This type of fossil is called a trace fossil, specifically a burrow or feeding trace fossil. It provides evidence of the activities of an organism without preserving the actual organism itself.
Is a footprint a body fossil?
Yes, a footprint is a type of body fossil known as a trace fossil. Trace fossils are evidence left behind by organisms, such as footprints, burrows, or coprolites, that provide information about the behavior of the organism rather than the organism itself.
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.

Over time what type of fossil is formed when thin objects are trapped in mud?
Thin objects trapped in mud can form trace fossils, such as worm burrows or footprints, which show evidence of the organism's activity rather than the organism itself. These trace fossils can provide important information about the behavior and ecology of ancient organisms.
What is a foot print fossil called?
They are an example of a trace fossil
Does coal represent sediment?
No coral is NOT sediment. Coral SAND is a sediment but the coral itself is a living organism - if buried and lithified, the coral becomes a fossil.
What is a fossil imprint?
decay
What conditions are needed to fossilize an organism?
The condition that is necessary for an organism to become a fossil is rapid burial. The process itself is known as taphonomy. This rapid burial process keeps the organism from decaying naturally.
