What are fossils? Fossils serve as a blueprint for what happened on the earth millions of years ago. By studying fossils, scientists can learn what kinds of animals and plants lived on the earth a long time ago. Fossils are the preserved remains or imprints of plants and animals that lived in other geological eras on earth. For a fossil to form, a plant or animal must have been buried, so that neither air nor other animals could get at it. Living things have always been buried or encased in mud. For example, have you ever seen a fish fossil? Scientists even discovered a wooly mammoth deep in the ice in North America. When fossils have been collected and categorized, it is called a geological record. As a result, we have a better understanding of what happened on earth. The reader can infer that a. fossils no longer exist. b. what we know about the past is due to studying fossils. c. fish fossils are the most common type of fossil. d. only animals can become fossils.
