Step-by-step solution
Actual remains are the intact bodies or parts of organisms preserved without much alteration, such as plants, animals, and human bodies embedded in the permafrost of arctic or alpine snow. Moulds are formed when an organism is buried in sediment and then decays, leaving a hollow cavity. They are hardened encasements formed in the outer parts of organic matter. Casts are formed when minerals fill a mould and harden, creating a replica of the original organism. Thus, they are hardened pieces of mineral matter. Compre
