Question

how do fossils form?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dear mate, the answer is :

Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms. Fossils are formed in different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fossils of animals, plants, or protists occur in sedimentary rock. In a typical fossil, the

body form is retained, but the original molecules that made up the body have been

replaced by some inorganic material, such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or silica

(SiO2).
