Mold is the impression of an organism in a rock that occurs due to the complete dissolving of the organism and only an impression left in sedimentary rocks.
The cast is a fossil copy of an organism in a rock that takes place when water-containing minerals fill the molds and creates a three-dimension copy of the fossil.
Trace fossils are the fossils that are preserved in such a manner that records of biological activity stored only instead of remains of plants or animals.
Storing originals animals or parts of the remaining such as tissue of an organism in natural form is known as original-material fossils.
Fossil records are the fossils ever found or discovered on the earth.
The answer is to increase the surface area of the solute. You see it dissolves faster because there is a lot more water touching it when it is has a higher surface area.This can be achieved by crushing
