What is a mo fossil?
* A mold fossil is a fossil that is molded onto a rock or mud and other stuff like that considering that the object turns into a mold or fossil it has tofossilize into something wet the drys up into something hard. * A mold fossil could take up to a year to a month to dry up into a mold fossil so will its drying up or already dry it's laying in the ground or water waiting to be discovered you can tell how old a fossil is by looking at the layers so next time you find a mold fossil or any type of fossil look at the layers it has and you will no how old it is or how long its been siting there and that's what a mold fossil is so now you have your answer on what a mold fossil is.
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.
What is a mold fossil?
A mold fossil is a type of fossil formed when an organism or plant decomposes or is buried in sediment, leaving an impression or hollow shape in the rock. The mold is created when the organic material decays and leaves behind a cavity that is later filled with minerals, preserving the shape of the original organism.
What is the name for a copy of a fossil produced by filling a mold with sediment or crystals?
A replica of a fossil produced by filling a mold with sediment or crystals is called a cast fossil. It provides a detailed three-dimensional representation of the original fossil and is often used in scientific research and educational settings.
Which fossil type could contain preserved parts of a organism?
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).

What are cast fossils?
One form of fossil forms when an organism dies and its body is covered by layers of sediment. As time passes, the organism itself, particularly when composed primarily of softer materials, is eroded and carried away, leaving a negative imprint of its body. This type of fossil is called a mold. A cast fossil forms when a mold fossil is filled with some form of mineral, usually through the seepage of water depositing the minerals within the mold. In time, the mold is filled and the materials deposited harden, creating a replica of the original fossil. This is called a cast fossil.
How are mold and cast related?
The Cast is the fossil of the shell etc itself. The Mould is the hollow left in the surrounding rock if the fossil is removed artificially or by some natural event such as differential dissolution or mass-movement.
