Detailed explanation-1: -Fossils are the remains of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single-celled living things that have been replaced by rock material or impressions of organisms preserved in rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -How might you account for the fact that seashell fossils have been found high on mountain slopes? The earth is an active place, with mountains being thrown up by geological forces, and then eroded to their roots. If the land being thrown up started below the sea, then seashells are found high in the mountain.
Detailed explanation-3: -They can tell what the environment was like in the place where the organism lived. Fossils can also tell how organisms have changed over time. If you find fossils of seashells high in a mountain, you might be able to conclude that the mountain used to be underwater at some point in the past.
