Preserved bones and tracks are two types of fossils. Describe three other types of fossils?

Three other types of fossils include molds, casts, and amber fossils. Molds are formed when an organism leaves an impression in sediment, creating a hollow shape.

Amber fossils are created when small organisms, like insects, are trapped in tree resin that hardens over time, preserving them in remarkable detail.
