** plz**which statement best compares a trace fossil to a fossil that forms as a result of an entire organism being trapped in amber?

both show the exact structure of the organism.
both require that the hard parts of the organism dissolve.
both form as a result of the organism leaving imprints in sediment.
both can possibly be used to study the organism's size.

Both form as a result of the organism leaving imprints in sediment.

A fossil is a remain of plant or animal material which were once alive. A fossil is formed when a dead organism being treated by microorganism present in the soil. The soft tissues are easily decomposed by the microorganism, but the hard tissues like bones, shells, and wooden parts of plants remains are left. These remains are covered by the layers of sediments. These sediments becomes compact mass or rock. The rock bearing the dead remains of plants and animals is called as fossilized rock.  

A trace fossil and a fossil being formed as a result of an entire organism being trapped in amber both forms as a result of the organism leaving imprints in sediment because whether it is a trace or remain of an organism or an entire body of organism, the pile of layers of sediment will exhibit the skeletal features of the organism as an imprint in the form of rock after compaction. It can facilitate the identification of the organism.  

well, you see. the answer to your question is quite simple. the thing that is big, powerful, and over 9,000 is your mom.
