Question

If a leaf is fossilized it would most likely form what type of fossil

Answer 1

Leaf like

Answer 2

I think it's carbonateous fossil? Maybe?

Answer 3

The fossilization of plants markedly differs from that of animals. The leaves are frequently reduced to a carbon film in a process known as carbonization or distillation. The internal anatomy of leaves is often lost, but occasionally cell walls and even cell contents may be preserved by permineralization. Permineralization occurs after burial when empty spaces within the plant containing liquid or gas during life become filled with mineral-rich groundwater and the minerals precipitate from the groundwater filling the spaces. This process can even occur in very small spaces such as within the plant cell wall of a plant cell, thus producing exquisitely detailed fossils. Permineralization burial before decay is advanced. The degree to which the remains are decayed when buried determines the later details of the fossil.

Answer 4
