    Fossils are preserved remains from past geological ages that can include shells, bones, stone imprints, and exoskeletons. They form when organisms are quickly buried to prevent damage and decomposition. Fossils provide information about extinct plants and animals that used to live on Earth, such as where they lived, what they ate, and how they died. Studying fossils also helps scientists understand the evolution of different organisms over time.

    FOSSILS

    By: Carrie Clausel


    WHAT ARE FOSSILS?
    • Fossils are preserved remains from a past geological age. They can include
    any of the following: shells, bones, stone imprints, and exoskeletons.
    • Fossils are formed in a very similar way to each other. There are certain things
    that need to happen in order for fossils to form. It needs to be buried fairly
    quickly so there is no damage to the organism. Soft organisms tend to rot
    away quickly and don’t usually fossilize.
    WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM
    FOSSILS?
    • Fossils give scientists ideas about how plants and animals lived in the past.
    • Fossils also teach scientists about plants and animals that are extinct today,
    but used to roam Earth.
    • Scientist can learn about where the organism lived, what it ate, and even
    how the organism died.
    • Scientists are able to look at fossils and learn about the evolution of a certain
    plant or animal.
