Which type of fossil is formed when an entire organism is filled with materials such as mud or clay and then hardens the entire organism and the filling?

The fossil that is formed when an organism is buried in sediment and hardens into rock is called a cast fossil, in which the empty space serves as a mold.


How carbon films form?

When a dead organism is buried, sediment may pile up. The organism's remains are subjected to heat and pressure. These conditions force gases and liquids from the body. A thin film of carbon residue is left, forming a silhouette of the original organism which is called a carbon film.


An organism becomes a fossil after it what?

An organism becomes a fossil after it is buried by sediment and undergoes a process called fossilization. This involves the deposition of minerals that replace the organic material of the organism, preserving its structure. Over millions of years, the remains may become rocks or minerals that retain a record of the organism.

How is carbonaceous is form?

A fossil is formed when the dead organism is buried in rock or parts of rock called sediments. The more sediment that builds up on plants or animals the more pressure and heat it is shown too,then circumstances force gas and liquid from the organism. A residue is left from the carbon which forms the outline of the body. This results in carbonaceous film.

Cavity in rock made when an organism decayed?

Fossilization is the process where organic material in a rock decays and leaves behind a cavity in the shape of the organism. Over time, minerals fill the cavity, forming a cast or mold of the organism, which can preserve details of its structure. This process is essential for scientists to study ancient life forms and understand Earth's history.
