A kind of fossil were an animal or plant leaves only its body impression in the mud?
A fossil of this type is called an impression fossil. It forms when an organism's body creates an imprint in soft mud or sediment, which then hardens into rock and preserves the shape of the organism but not its actual remains. These fossils provide important information about ancient organisms and their environments.
A fossil created by a print or impression?
A fossil created by a print or impression is called an imprint fossil. Imprint fossils are formed when an organism's remains leave an impression in sediment that hardens over time. This process captures the shape or texture of the organism, providing valuable information about ancient life forms.
If in the Grand Canyon walls if a fossil imprint of a leaf is lower than a shell fossil does that mean that the leaf fossil is older than the shell fossil?
Not necessarily. The relative position of fossils in the rock layers can provide clues about their age, but it is not a definitive indicator. To determine the actual age of the fossils, scientists often use radiometric dating techniques and other methods to establish a more accurate timeline.

What is the difference between a fossil and an imprint?
A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a once-living organism, while an imprint is a mark or indentation left behind by an organism on a surface. Fossils can include imprints, but not all imprints are considered fossils. Fossils provide more detailed information about the organism's structure and biology, while imprints are more surface-level.
What fossils form from impressions made in soft mud?
Imprint
Why would a leaf be preserved only as an impression?
A fossil I pressume. . . Well the leaf is buried in some gloopy mud, and the mud drys around it making a cast / impression. The leaf rots a away after this because it is so fragile. The mud is lithified and bingo an impression. Am I barking up the right tree. . .
What is the color of leaf imprint?

How is an imprint formed?
An imprint fossil is formed when an animal or plant makes a print in the soil. Such as a footprint.
Is an imprint a fossil?
Yes an imprint is considered a fossil if it was created by life and the animal/plant/fungi in question is no longer alive. It is generally assumed that only if it is very old it is a fossil but technically this is not so.
