A) petrifaction
B) moulds
C) compression
D) pseudofossil.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
: Petrification is the fossilization of hard parts of animals such as bones, teeth, shells, exoskeleton, woody parts of plants etc. The soft tissues are disintegrated and the hard parts are buried into sediment. The less permanent parts are preserved by replacement of the original with minerals such as silica, sulphur etc. The resulting fossil retains not only the external features but also all minute details.
