Show transcript
Fossils are found in sedimentary rock, but not in other types of rock.
Fossils are often the remains of living plants or animals.
Bones buried in sedimentary rock can be very, very slowly dissolved by water and replaced by minerals in the water.
Geological activities can break or completely destroy fossils.
