Mold And Cast Of A Fossil at Evelyn Graves blog

Mold And Cast Of A Fossil. The process by which a fossil is formed is called fossilisation. It’s very rare for living things to become fossilised. A mold is a negative impression of an organism, while a cast is a fossil formed when a mold is filled with sediment or mineral deposits. An animal dies, its skeleton. Casts form when an external mold (or the void between an external and internal mold) is filled by sediment that later lithifies, reproducing the form of the original organic. There are several different ways fossils are formed. If water rich in minerals fills this space, crystals can form and create a fossil in the shape of the original bone or shell, known as a cast fossil. Here we go through the five steps of fossilisation to make a typical 'mould and cast' fossil. A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a dead organism. The mineralized impression of the organism left in the sediment is called a mold.
