Is a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves called?
No, a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves is called a mold fossil. It is created when the organic material of the organism dissolves, leaving behind an impression or cavity in the sediment that hardens into rock.
Is a cavity in the ground where an organism was buried If this cavity is filled in with sediment it can form a cst?
Mold
What are five ways fossils can form?
Preservation in sedimentary rock: The organism's remains are buried in sediment and mineralized over time. Casts and molds: The organism's remains decay, leaving an impression in the sediment that is later filled with minerals. Carbonization: The organism's remains are compressed, leaving behind a thin film of carbon. Freezing or desiccation: The organism is preserved through freezing or drying out quickly. Amber preservation: The organism becomes trapped in tree resin, preserving it over time.
What fossil mold that reflects the shape and surface markings of an organism is created?
When the organism is buried in sediment and then dissolved by underground water
What can organism is most likely to become fossilized?
A bony fish that is buried rapidly in ocean sediment

How does a cast fossil form?
When the animal dies its skeleton settles on the sea floor and is buried by sediment. that thickens and begins to turn to stone. The skeleton dissolves and a mold is formed. Minerals crystallize inside the mold and the cast is formed.
Does coal represent sediment?
No coral is NOT sediment. Coral SAND is a sediment but the coral itself is a living organism - if buried and lithified, the coral becomes a fossil.
What most occur for a fossil to form?
the organism must be buried in sediment soon after it dies.

Mold
What is fossil carbonization?
It is the carbon residue remaining from the organism or part of an organism that has been fossilized. Essentially what happens is that the organism is buried within a layer of sediment which solidifies. A chemical reaction takes place in which many of the elements that compose the organism are converted to gases and driven off, leaving behind a carbon residue (distillation) - and an outline of the original material.

What must usually happen in order for a dead organism to be preserved as a fossil?
B. The organism must be buried in sediment soon after it dies.C - the organism must go through a process of petrificationNeededMoist sediment or soilorganism trapped, dieslack of anything disturbing that areamoistness ; warmth ; heat to break down additional layeringpressure from more layers on toplengthy amount of time (millions of years)
Fossils are formed in rocks when the blank body parts of an organism get buried in blank and are preserved when it turns to blank?
Fossils are formed in rocks when the hard body parts of an organism get buried in sediment and are preserved when it turns to rock.
