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:

• "Preserved in tree sap" matches amber fossilization, as amber is fossilized tree sap trapping organisms.
• "Water rich minerals seep into pores of bones and harden" describes permineralization (pre-mineralization), where minerals fill pores without replacing original material.
• "An organism’s hard parts are replaced by minerals" is mineralization (replacement), where original material is swapped with minerals.
• "Foot prints in sedimentary layers or nest impressions" are trace fossils, but among the options, cast and molds form from impressions filled with sediment.

Answer:

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