Question

Which part of an organism is preserved in cast and mold fossils?

skin
bone
muscle
soft tissue

Answer 1

Body fossils

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, only the hard skeleton is preserved (shell or bone), and the soft tissue (skin, muscle, organs, etc.) rots away after death. Animals with weak skeletons (e.g., a shrimp or an insect) are less likely to be preserved and animals that lack a skeleton entirely are very rarely fossilized.
