Fossils can form through various processes, including:

  1. Permineralization: Minerals seep into organic material, filling pores and hardening it into stone.
  2. Mold and Cast: An organism leaves an impression (mold) in sediment, which can later be filled with minerals to create a cast.
  3. Amber Preservation: Organisms, such as insects, become trapped in tree resin that hardens into amber, preserving them intact.
  4. Frozen Preservation: In extremely cold environments, organisms can be frozen, preserving their bodies and sometimes even soft tissues.
