Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient life. They tell the story of Earth’s past.

Most fossils form when plants or animals are buried in sediment. Over time, the sediment hardens into rock.

Bones and shells can turn into stone. Minerals replace the original material.

Some fossils show the shapes of plants. Leaves can leave clear impressions in rock.

Insects and small animals can be trapped in amber. Amber is hardened tree resin that preserves fine details.

Footprints and tracks can also become fossils. They show how animals walked or ran.

Fossils are often found in layers of rock. Deeper layers usually contain older fossils.

Ammonites were ancient sea animals with spiral shells. Their fossils are found all over the world.

Dinosaur skeletons are among the most famous fossils. They reveal the size and shape of long-extinct animals.

Paleontologists study fossils carefully. They use tools to uncover bones without breaking them.

Fossils can show what animals ate. Some skeletons are found with food inside their bodies.

Fossils also reveal ancient climates. Plant fossils show where forests, swamps, or deserts once existed.

Not every creature becomes a fossil. Most remains are destroyed before they can be preserved.

New fossil discoveries are made every year. They change how we understand Earth’s history.

Fossils are natural time capsules. They connect us to life from millions of years ago.
