Show transcript
A fossil is any evidence of prehistoric life from millions of years ago. Palaeontologists tell us that the most common fossils are bones, teeth and shells. Fossils are mainly found within sedimentary rocks, such as cliffs and river valleys, formed over thousands of years. Fossil discoveries can be researched using secondary sources of information.
