Put the following steps in order to describe how a fossil could form. *
Dissolved
minerals,
transported by
ground-waters in
the sediment, fill
tiny spaces in the
bones. The
combination of
pressure,
chemical
reactions and
time eventually
turns into
minerals fossils.
The fossil remain
within the rock
until uncovered
through erosion
or excavation.
An animal dies
and is buried
before the
remains are
completely
distorted.
Over time, layers
of sediment build
up and press
down on the
buried remains.
