Match List I with List II
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List I (Types of fossils) | List II (Examples/features) |
|---|---|
| (A). Actual remains | (I). Impression of body parts |
| (B). Moulds | (II). Outline of external features |
| (C). Cast | (III). Hardened pieces of mineral matter deposited in cavities |
| (D). Compressions | (IV). Preserved bodies of insects embedded in amber |
Options
- A(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
- B(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
- C(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
- D(A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
Correct answer
D. (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
Step-by-step solution
Actual remains are the intact parts or whole bodies of organisms preserved in their original state, such as preserved bodies of insects embedded in amber.
Moulds are formed when an organism decays and leaves an impression of its body parts in the surrounding rock.
Casts are formed when the cavities or moulds left by the decayed organism are filled with hardened pieces of mineral matter.
Compressions are fossils formed by the flattening of the organism under pressure, leaving an outline of its external features, often as a thin carbon film.
Therefore, the correct matching is (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II).
Answer: (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
