Question
which part of an organism is preserved in cast and mold fossils?
skin
bone
muscle
soft tissue
Brief Explanations
Cast and mold fossils form when hard parts (like bones) of an organism are buried in sediment. The sediment hardens around the bone (forming a mold), and then minerals fill the mold to create a cast. Soft tissues (skin, muscle, soft tissue) decay more easily and are not typically preserved in this fossil type.
