Y3 Spring Block 1 TS2 Fossil Formation

1) The document discusses the process of fossilization. It explains that for fossils to form, an animal or plant must die in a watery environment and be buried by sediment layers. Over thousands of years, the bones or other body parts are replaced by minerals from the sediment and water, forming a fossil. 2) The key requirements for fossilization are an organism's death in the presence of water, sediment, and a long period of time for mineral replacement of the organism's tissues. Without all these conditions, the remains will not fossilize. 3) A diagram is presented showing how fossils are formed through the processes of an organism's remains being covered by sediment and water, with the bones or skeleton
