Originally... fossils form as pressure compresses soil materials and forms rock. Rock is larger than the fossil it contains. However, the rock can later fracture or split; the fossil inside the rock can also be broken. But the fossil is still contained in the rock, so rock is still larger until the fossil is mechanically separated from the rock. However, if small, the indentation of fossil can become only an etching in the rock.
