Answer:

Carbon films or carbonaceous fossils are the fossils that are formed when an outline of the original organism is formed from left-over carbon. This usually happens when the oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen from an organism become exhausted. This leaves just a layer of carbon on the organism which forms a thin layer. This process is known as distillation or carbonation. These fossils can be found in any rocks when organic material becomes compressed.

Carbonaceous film is a fossil formed when an outline of the original organism is formed from left-over carbon. It is an outline of a fossil - it is usually found on any type of rock when some organic material is compressed, thus leaving carbon residue or film, as the term itself says.
