Show transcript
Fossils tell us about things that lived over 10,000 years ago. Fossils can be formed from different plants and animals. Not every living thing that dies becomes a fossil. Some fossils are formed by an imprint of parts of living things, like bones, feathers, shells or leaves. Models can be used to show how fossils are formed in different ways.
