Hey mate..
=========
Fossilisation is the process of converting a plant or animal that existed in some earlier age into fossils.
Formation of Fossils--->
=================
Let us start 100 million years ago, Some invertebrates on the sea-bed die, and buried in the sand.More sand accumulates and sandstone forms under pressure.
Again Millions of years later , dinosaurs living in the area die, and their bodies, too are buried in mud.Thiis mud is also compressed into rock, above the rock containing the earlier invertebrate fossils.
After a millions of years later, the bodies of horse like creatures dying in these areas are fossilised into rocks above these earlier rocks.
Much later, by erosion or water flow wears away some of the rock and exposes the horse-like fossils .As we dig deeper, we will find more and more as well as older and older fossils..This is the process through which fossils are formed.

Answer:
The process of fossils formation is called fossilization. Fossils are formed when organisms die; their bodies get decomposed and lost. Sometimes the body or a part of it may be in such an environment that it does not let it decompose completely. The mud will eventually harden and retain the impression of the body parts of the organism. This mud with the impression will be called fossil of the organism.
