Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fossils are formed in many different ways, but most are formed when a living organism (such as a plant or animal) dies and is quickly buried by sediment (such as mud, sand or volcanic ash).
Detailed explanation-2: -Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks and occasionally some fine-grained, low-grade metamorphic rocks.
Detailed explanation-3: -3. Trace Fossils. Trace fossils are marks left by an animal or plant that has made an impression.
