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.]]> 2018-02-05 19:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/304493/iiyxnn17gly7/wish/228307131 304493 https://padlet.com/304493/iiyxnn17gly7/wish/228307221 Petrification is the process of turning living organic material into stone. This process takes place when the molecules in an organism are replaced with the molecules of a mineral. A petrified fossil is different from other fossils such as resin fossils or permineralized fossils because the original material of the organism is still intact in resin fossils or permineralized fossils.]]> 2018-02-05 19:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/304493/iiyxnn17gly7/wish/228307221 304493 https://padlet.com/304493/iiyxnn17gly7/wish/228307297 A fossil trackway is a type of trace fossil, a trackway made by an organism.
