Question

To form a fossil a layer of material such as quickly covers the plant or animal

Answer 1

Explanation:

Throughout human history, people have discovered fossils and wondered about the creatures that lived long ago. In ancient times, fossils inspired legends of monsters and other strange creatures. The Chinese writer Chang Qu reports the discovery of “dragon bones”, which were probably dinosaur fossils in China 2,000 years ago. The griffin, a mythical creature with a lion’s body and an eagle’s head and wings, was probably based on skeletons of Protoceratops that were discovered by nomads in Central Asia Another fossil reminded the Greeks of the coiled horns of a ram. The Greeks named them ammonites after the ram god Ammon. Similarly, legends of the Cyclops may be based on fossilized elephant skulls found in Crete and other Mediterranean islands. Can you see why Many of the real creatures whose bones became fossilized were no less marvelous than the mythical creatures they inspired. The giant pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of up to 12 meters (39 feet). The dinosaur Argentinosaurus had an estimated weight of 80,000 kg, equal to the weight of seven elephants! Other fossils, such as the trilobite and ammonite, impress us with their bizarre forms and delicate beauty.
