pickupchik [31]

Carbon film fossil is the type of fossil that preserves delicate details of an organism after pressure squeezes out liquids and gases.

Carbon film fossil is a type of fossil that is mainly composed of carbon and can preserve delicate details of organism’s (animal and plants) parts. The formation of carbon film fossil starts when a dead organism is buried under sediments. After some time, the organism will begin to decay in a process known as carbonization.
