Show transcript
Palaeontology is the study of fossils. Some fossils are formed when tree resin hardens into amber, with living things trapped inside. Models can be used to show how fossils are formed in different ways. Some fossils are formed when sediment and minerals fill the hard parts of living things that have died.
