Question: what type of fossil is detail left after an organism decays? what type of fossil is a hollow form? what type of fossil is a solid copy? provide evidence to prove your answer is right
A type of fossil left after an organism decays is called an impression fossil. Impression fossils are fossils that remain of an organism that has decomposed, leaving only an impression or mark in the sedimentary rock. A hollow form fossil is a type of fossilized mold. It is formed when an organism decays, leaving a hollow space that then fills with sedimentary material and hardens. A solid copy fossil, also known as a cast fossil, is a type of fossilized cast. It is created when sediment fills the cavity or mold created by a decaying organism and hardens to take the shape of the original organism. Evidence to prove this answer is right includes fossil records from the National Science Foundation and National Park Service which show examples of impression, mold, and cast fossils.
