Read:
Fossils are plants and animals that have been buried by sediment – sand or mud, for example – from a river, sea, lake or desert. These sands and muds hardened and turned into rocks, allowing traces of these living beings – such as bones, teeth, leaves or trunks – to be preserved for millions of years. The formation of a fossil is something difficult to happen, as it requires, for example, that animals and plants have been buried quickly, so that the action of organisms that, in nature, feed on animals and vegetables already cannot have occurred dead.
