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 dead remains of plants and animals....
Fossils may be defined as the remains of the organisms which have been preserved in the form of molds or cast in rocks etc. since prehistoric ages.

When a plant or an animals dies, their remains falls on the ground. Over a period of time their body gets covered by sediments brought by rivers, winds etc. These sediments keeps on getting accumulated for over hundred of years and when that land gets eroded, the fossils can be seen clearly. Thus, the process of accumulation of dead remains of plants and animals for over hundreds of years results in the formation of fossils.
