What Mineral replacement carbon film and molds are a few examples of?

Mineral replacement, carbon film, and molds are examples of fossilization processes that preserve the remains of organisms. Mineral replacement occurs when organic material is gradually replaced by minerals, turning it into stone. Carbon film forms when organic material decomposes, leaving behind a thin layer of carbon that outlines the organism. Molds are impressions left in sediment when an organism is buried and then decays, creating a cavity that reflects the shape of the original organism.

What is the Mineral replacement carbon film and molds are a few examples of?

Mineral replacement, carbon film, and molds are all examples of fossilization processes that preserve the remains of organisms. Mineral replacement occurs when minerals infiltrate organic material, replacing it atom by atom, while carbon film results from the thin residue of carbon left behind after decomposition. Molds form when an organism leaves an impression in sediment that later hardens, creating a cavity that reflects its shape. Together, these processes provide valuable insights into the history of life on Earth.
