Question

match the type of fossilization with its description * 4 points pre - mineralization cast and molds amber fossilization mineralization (replacement) preserved in tree sap water rich minerals seep into pores of bones and harden an organisms hard parts are relaced by minerals foot prints in sedimentary layers or nest impressions

Explanation:

• Amber fossilization occurs when organisms are preserved in tree sap (amber).
• Pre - mineralization is when water - rich minerals seep into the pores of bones and harden.
• Mineralization (replacement) is when an organism's hard parts are replaced by minerals.
• Casts and molds are formed from footprints in sedimentary layers or nest impressions.

Answer:

• Preserved in tree sap: amber fossilization
• Water - rich minerals seep into pores of bones and harden: pre - mineralization
• An organism's hard parts are replaced by minerals: mineralization (replacement)
• Footprints in sedimentary layers or nest impressions: cast and molds
