paleonet Fossil terminology



Colleagues,
 
    In the technical literature on fossil molluscs, one often sees the
term "composite mold" to describe the preservation of certain specimens.
What exactly is a composite mold, and how does it differ from an
ordinary mold (internal or external) or from a cast?
Thank you for enlightening me about this
