The impression of skeletal remains in adjoining rock constitutes ... an internal mould, if the impression reveals the form and markings of inner surfaces.  6, record 2, English, - internal%20mould

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Few organisms are preserved entire in the rocks; only the hard parts, such as shells and bones, as a rule endure. These parts may be preserved unchanged, but commonly the material out of which they were built by the organism has been dissolved by circulating solutions... The shell or hard part may even be wholly removed, and only an imprint or hollow mold be left in the rock. A natural mold of this sort may later become filled with mineral matter, and this filling thus forms a copy or natural cast of the organic object.  5, record 2, English, - internal%20mould

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Un minéral, plus fort que ceux qui l'entourent, peut exercer en s'accroissant des efforts mécaniques comparables à ceux de la glace qui fait éclater une roche gélive. Il peut déplacer les minéraux voisins, englober certains d'entre eux [...] Ces inclusions deviennent alors «inertes», ne s'accroissent plus et demeurent plus petites que les minéraux de la trame.  3, record 3, French, - min%C3%A9ral%20inerte
