Answer 1

What the other dude said

Answer 2

Minerals form a protective amber coating around an organism is not typically associated with mineralized fossils. The process where water enters the pores of an organism and creates a hardened crystal cast that replaces any organic material is closer to the concept of mineralized fossils. This process involves minerals gradually replacing the organic material, preserving the organism's shape and structure within the resulting fossil.
