Question
study the image
how does this fossil differ from fossils that have
preserved remains?
which feature does this fossil have that preserved
remains do not have?
it has carbon residue left by a decaying organism
it was formed by tree sap that turned into amber
it was preserved in frozen soil called permafrost.
it includes the preserved soft tissue of an organism
Fossils with preserved remains often include intact soft - tissue or are preserved in amber/permafrost. The fossil in question has carbon residue (like a carbon film fossil), which is a key difference. Carbon - residue fossils form as an organism decays, leaving a thin layer of carbon. Preserved - remains fossils (e.g., in amber or permafrost) have more intact structures. Soft - tissue preservation is not just carbon residue. Tree - sap (amber) and permafrost preservation are different preservation methods than carbon - residue formation.
