What plants or animals died to form the coal?
Actually, any kind of plant/animal could have died to form coal. But not just any type of coal. Bituminous coal, to be exact. This happens when dead plant/animal's remains (though mostly plant, a small percentage of bituminous coal is from animal remains) are buried under a body of water (usually a swamp) and decay there for a while, forming a thick layer. Then it needs to be buried by a lot of 'sediments', usually mud/sand to compress the plant/animal remains into coal.

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.

How do fossil records form?
Typically something dies and gets buried in sediment. Over time the sediment transforms to sedimentary rock and the remains of the dead plant or animal fossilizes. There are a few variants on this but that is the basic process.
