| What are fossils? | Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of dead organisms. They are found in rocks. |
| What can fossils be formed from? | - Hard body parts, such as bones and shells, which do not decay easily or are replaced by other materials as they decay. - Parts of organisms which have not decayed. For example, dead animals and plants can be preserved in amber (hardened tree resin), peat bogs, tar pits or in ice - Casts or impressions, such as foot prints or burrows.
