The four types of fossils are:

mold fossils = (a fossilized impression made in the substrate - a negative image of the organism)

cast fossils = (formed when a mold is filled in)

trace fossils = ichnofossils (fossilized nests, gastroliths, burrows, footprints, etc.)

true form fossils= (fossils of the actual animal or animal part).
