Detailed explanation-1: -Place the clay on a paper towel or plate with your name on it. Use your shell (or other object to fossilize) and push it into the clay to make a deep imprint. Remove the object and make sure the imprint is clean. Pour enough plaster of paris in it to fill the impression, careful not to overfill and drip down the sides!

Detailed explanation-2: -Body Fossils and Trace Fossils The fossils of bones, teeth, and shells are called body fossils.

Detailed explanation-3: -1 cup wet, used coffee grounds. 1/2 cup cold coffee. 1/2 cup salt. 1 cup flour. Parchment or waxed paper. Items to “fossilize” such as plant leaves, flower petals, tree bark, seashells and pine cones.
