How a Fossil Forms
Fossils are formed in
different type of ways and always help the contribution of science.
For fossils to be created animals
should die, fall and sink in shallow water. After a long period of time silt or
mud covers the dead animal's body. Mud and silt becomes rock; and protects the
body from oxygen. When the muds have covered the animal the decomposition of
bacteria starts. Decomposition takes many years to happen. Then weathering and
erosion expose the fossil at the earth’s surface.
