Animal parts that are soft and don't have a skeleton leave the worst imprints. Fossils are made with animal parts that are hard and durable.

What is a kind of fossil where an animal or plant leaves only it's body impressions in the mud?

Mold


If a bird leaves a footprint in the mud the mud hardens what kind of fossil is this?

This would be considered a trace fossil, specifically a "ichnofossil" which is a fossilized footprint, burrow, or other trace left by an organism rather than the remains of the organism itself.


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.


Does the fossil record support the idea of evolution or the idea that God created each kind of plant and animal individually?

The Fossil Record supports the idea that God created each kind of plant and animal individually. The Fossil Record does not offer any evidence for evolution, because it reveals that God created insects, plants, humans and other living organisms.


One kind of fossil forms from the body parts of organisms. What is another kind of fossil?

Another kind of fossil is a mold or cast fossil, which forms when an organism's remains decay and leave an impression in the surrounding sediment that is later filled with minerals. Another type is a trace fossil, which is evidence of an organism's activity, like footprints or burrows, preserved in rock.
