Explanation:

Permineralization

occurs when minerals carried by water are deposited

around a hard structure. They may also replace the hard structure itself.

Natural casts

form when flowing water removes all of the original bone or

tissue, leaving just an impression in sediment. Minerals fill in the mold,

recreating the original shape of the organism.

Amber preserved

are organisms that become trapped in tree resin

that hardens into amber after the tree gets buried underground.

Trace fossils

record the activity of an organism. They include nests,

burrows, imprints of leaves, and footprints.

Preserved remains

form when an entire organism becomes encased in

material such as ice or volcanic ash or immersed in bogs.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
