Answer:

fossils are the dead remains of plants and animals which get burried under millions of years ago.

Fossils are formed in a number of 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.

Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms.

Fossils are formed in a number of 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.

The age of fossils is determined through relative dating, and objective dating. Fossils themselves usually can't be directly dated, because most of them have little or no of the organic material left, and dating by Carbon 14 is only useful up to around 35000–50000 years.
