Question

____________ are opposite of a mold fossil.

  1. Petrified fossil
  2. Trace fossil
  3. Cast fossil
  4. Preserved fossil

hintHint:

A cast fossil is opposite to the mold fossil.

The correct answer is: Cast fossil


    • The relationship between the mold and the cast can be explained as a three-dimensional trace settled over sediment.
    • Mold is a mineralized trace of an organism on sediment.
    • When the settled mold is covered with sediment, it recreated the shape of the settled organism. This is called a cast.
    • Thus the cast and mold are opposite to each other.
