Fossils
When prehistoric sea animals died,
their bodies fell to the ocean floor. If the
mud and silt on the bottom of the ocean
buried the animals quickly, the creature's
hard parts would be safe from rotting.
After many, many years the layers of
animals and mud became so heavy that
the weight turned the layers to stone
and the animals to fossils.
