Question

Infiltration theory of fossil formation

Answer 1

Fossilization is the process by which a plant or animal becomes a fossil. This process is extremely rare and only a small fraction of the plants and animals that have lived in the past 600 million years are preserved as fossils.

Answer 2

Infiltration theory of fossil formation:

• Fossils are defined as the remains of a former lived organism (either a plant or animals) which were embedded and preserved by some natural processes in past geological times.  

• This process is referred as fossilization. The modes of fossilization are two namely 1) infiltration theory and 2) Theory of molecule by molecule.  

• The former theory involves infiltration of mineral substances at first place and then precipitation between the soluble salts present in water while doing partially disintegrating the plant cells.  

• Thus the free carbon got released and thus reducing the sulphides present in water.
