Best Answer

There are mold and cast fossils in many local creeks, streams, and/or rivers.

If the original organism dissolves or decays, leaving a hollow in the rock, that is a mold.

If the mold fills up with sediment which gradually hardens into the shape of the original organism, then that is a cast.

Casts are copies of fossilized plants or animals. Molds are hollow impressions of the fossil.
Its a Fossil.

Most fossils are formed from a mould/cast, which are essentially the same thing. It consists of a hollow being filled with a soluble deposit, and this hollow can be described either as a mould or cast.

What is the difference between a cast and a mold?

Casting requires that you apply a substance to a solid object in order to duplicate a shape. =) hi! Molding requires that you manipulate a substance so that you are literally creating a shape Molds are formed as empty spaces left in a rock when the soft parts of the organism decay and the hard parts are dissolved by chemicals. The mold takes the same shape as the organism. Cast, also known as filled-in molds, are formed when the mold is filled in another material forming a cast that has the same shape as the original organism.


Is fossil rocks the same as fossil fuels?

Not quite the same thing. The rocks are rocks that contain fossils of living creatures or plants inside them, while fossil fuels are oil or gas from underground, formed from fossilised vegtation that grew 1-100 million years ago.
