Fossil Cast:
A fossil formed when a plant, animal, or some other organism dies and then its flesh and bones decay and deteriorate due to chemical reactions. Minerals then enter into the decayed areas, creating a cast, or a mold fossil, which is the general shape of the original organism.


Unless you mean some other cast?
