What condition in the past produced a mold fossil?
A mold fossil is formed when an organism decays and leaves an impression in the surrounding sediment or rock. Over time, the impression fills with minerals, creating a cast of the organism's shape.
Hollow areas in the sediment in the shape of an organism?
Fossil
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.
What fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves leaving a hollow are?
The answer is Mold
Can a fossil be found in granite?
It is conceivable that a fossil could be found among sedimentary rock crystals, and some dead organisms have actually been replaced by minerals which are composed of crystals. Fossils in gems and crystals from metamorphic or igneous processes--no.
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.
What can a fossil be preserved in?
Sediment and tree sap

Which forms first a fossil mold or a fossil cast?
First, a thin layer of sediment hardens and forms a mold. Then, what is known as a cast is when a new layer of sediment fills in the mold breaking down the creature/ animal/fossil.
What is Paleontology Bulk Sampling?
Collection of a volume of fossil-laden rock or sediment for analysis of fossil content.
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.
Why is a hollow area in sediment in the shape of an organism?
it probably died there as the sediment was beginning to compact and left a trace fossil
Is a dinosaur footprint a fossil?
a footprint.
