OSSILS
The study of fossils tells us about animals and plants living on
the Earth millions of years ago. When the organic material of
any living being is transformed into inorganic minerals and
preserved in rock, fossilisation has occurred.
How are fossils formed? First, the body of a dead animal sinks
to the bottom of the sea. Bacteria and other animals eat its
flesh. Then sediment (mud and sand) cover the skeleton. Over
a long period of time, minerals in the sediment replace the
hard parts of the animal, such as the bones and teeth. These
hard minerals form a fossil. After millions of years the muddy
sediment becomes rock. Eventually, erosion of the rock by
wind and rain reveals the fossil.
The best place to find fossils is by the sea and the most
common fossils are of seashells and shellfish.
It is also possible to find fossilised animals in certain
materials. Amber is the sticky resin from trees. It contains
many insect fossils. These insects were trapped in the amber
millions of years ago. Mammoth fossils are also found from
time to time in frozen soil.
