While body fossils give important facts about the size and shape of a dinosaur, they tell little about the life of a dinosaur. Trace fossils (ichnofossils) can show how a dinosaur moved, hunted, rested, ate, made families, and much more. One of the most interesting and informative of the trace fossil types is the dinosaur footprint.

The other type of fossil is called a trace fossil, where evidence of the organism but not the actual organism is preserved, such as a track, a burrow, a nest, or even feces. Characteristics and Examples of Fossil Formation. The many different ways organisms are preserved gives fossils different characteristics.

Mold fossils and cast fossils occur when an organism leaves an imprint that is fossilized. Mold fossils are when an imprint is made and that imprint is fossilized, whereas cast fossils are imprints that are filled in and then fossilized. This is a mold fossil of a bivalve, like a clam or oyster, from a dig sight in Ohio

Fossils and fossil types. We learn about the earth’s past by studying rocks. Evidence of animals that lived long ago is preserved in rocks as fossils. Fossils are marks or material left in rock layers by living things. Fossils are created in several ways.

Activities: Children are going to create models of the different types of fossils! 1. To create a mold and cast fossil go to http://zoomschool.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinofossils/Fossiltypes.html. I have found a very easy way to get both fossils in the same lesson. Hypothesis: We think by making an imprint of an object and placing it in clay then we can make a mold fossil. We think if we fill the mold fossil with Plaster of Paris then we can make a cast fossil.

Mold Fossils: an imprint is made and fossilized Cast Fossils: an imprint that is filled in, then fossilized Permineralization: process in which an organism dies and sediment enters the body, filling in the pores of a leaf, or a bone or a shell

Fossils provide scientists with many clues about Earth's history, offering evidence of dinosaurs and strange plants that existed in the past. This lesson will define a fossil, look at different types and characteristics of fossils, and then describe how fossils are formed.

Show the following types of fossils, taken from http://enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinofossils/Fossiltypes.html and discuss each one. The first picture is a fossil in amber, the second one is a trace fossil, the third is a mold fossil, and the last one is a cast fossil.

what kind of fossil is made by an imprint?
Mold fossils and cast fossils occur when an organism leaves an imprint that is fossilized.
