Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -After death, the soft parts of an animal’s body degrade, leaving the hard parts such as the bones behind. This was buried by sediment which is made up of microscopic rock fragments. As new layers of sediment are placed on top of the skeleton, the sediment begins to solidify and convert to rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fossils form in five ways: preservation of original remains, permineralization, molds and casts, replacement, and compression. Rock formations with exceptional fossils are called very important for scientists to study. They allow us to see information about organisms that we may not otherwise ever know.
