Choose the word that best describes the type of fossil being made. Some words may be used more than once. 1. A triceratops uses its horns to gouge a chunk out of a log. The log gets fossilized, with the gouges intact.
2. A prehistoric beetle falls into a pool of mud. The mud hardens around the beetle's body, which decays away.
3. The space left behind by the beetle fills in with minerals, which harden over time into the beetle's shape.
4. A small mammal falls into a tar pit, where it is entirely preserved.
