it probably died, and the sand and rock built up over the fossil while it was decaying.
An animal fossil can be buried in sedimentary rock layers such as sandstone, shale, or limestone that have accumulated over time. The fossilization process occurs when the remains of an animal are buried quickly after death, protecting them from decay and allowing for the formation of a fossil.
A Fossil is the remains (or an impression) of a plant or animal that existed in a past geological ageA trace fossil is the burrows, trails, etc, of an animal.A trace fossil is where something left a mark on something else, and then became fossilized. A body fossil is a fossil of a once living thing.
It is called a mold fossil, which can become a cast fossil. After the soft parts of the animal rot away, a cavity remains (the mold fossil) which becomes filled with hardened sand or mud (the cast fossil).
Indeed: a Trace Fossil is that of a burrow, footprint, coprolite, etc that's not a fossil of the animal itself that left the trace.
A dinosaur footprint is considered a trace fossil because it is evidence of the animal's activity, rather than a physical part of the actual dinosaur's body. Trace fossils provide information about the behavior and movements of ancient organisms.
well it depends on wat fossil your talking about. fossil can be a shop. but an animal is a fossil when it is bones under the ground
The answer is trace fossil. Why? Because a body fossil is a fossil of a part of the animal. Which means a hole is nowhere apart of animal. And a dead one at that.
IT is in the mountain where you fight a guy and you get to choose which fossil to get
This is the fossil of an extinct animal.
It is a mold fossil
You don't get it from a guy in Twist Mountain. You get the Archen Fossil from the female backpacker in Desert Resort in the ruins where the Darmanitan are.
== NO a fossil must be found but scientists can probably guess about how old the mountain is by looking at it and fing== ding out the types of rock that it has. ===
animal fossil=earth+undefined dead lifeform
a dinosar
a dinosaur
they die and they decay
Records of animal types are seen through fossilised remains.
