If the space is subsequently filled with sediment, an external cast can be made. Molds and casts are three dimensional and preserve the surface contours of the organism.]]> 2018-01-30 16:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/305167/3vvmm2alv9yk/wish/226192922 305167 https://padlet.com/305167/3vvmm2alv9yk/wish/226194851 In geology, petrifaction or petrification is the process by which organic material becomes a fossil through the replacement of the original material and the filling of the original pore spaces with minerals.

In biology, a trackwaycan be a set of impressions in the soft earth, usually a set of footprints, left by an animal. A fossil trackway is the fossilized imprint of a trackway, a type of trace fossil.]]> 2018-01-30 17:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/305167/3vvmm2alv9yk/wish/226196757 305167 https://padlet.com/305167/3vvmm2alv9yk/wish/226198936 Under certain conditions, living things can leave behind impressions of themselves in the form of fossils. Fossils are the remains or impressions of organisms, preserved in petrified molds or casts. They are particularly useful to biologists who can use them to discover extinct animal species, and and study the way that those animals evolved and lived. Certain kinds of fossils can be referred to as "molds" or "casts" due to the way they have formed.

While everybody understands that black bears are related to grizzly bears and we can even figure they are related to extinct bears, lots of people wonder how scientists can be so sure that bears are related to salmon as well.]]> 2018-01-30 17:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/305167/3vvmm2alv9yk/wish/226200668
