Question

What are fossils....???
How are fossils formed....??​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

In simplest terms, fossils are the remains of organisms found in the earth’s strata (rock layers). These organisms have, in some way, been protected from the bacterial action that degrades carbon-based organisms.
