Fossils

The fossils are more than love by everyone . I do not know why!!!  But the form of the beautiful and mysterious old makes it a destination for everyone. 

Fossil is an evidence or trace of a dead animal or plant. Footprints imprinted on rocks, bones of ancient humans and animals, shells, etc.

Fossils can be very large or very small. Microfossils are only visible with a microscope. Bacteria and pollen are microfossils. Macrofossils can be several meters long and weigh several tons. Macrofossils can be petrified trees or dinosaur bones.

Preserved remains become fossils if they reach an age of about 10,000 years. 

Fossils can come from the Archaeaean Eon (which began almost 4 billion years ago) all the way up to the Holocene Epoch (which continues today).

 

 The fossilized teeth of wooly mammoths are some of our most "recent" fossils. Some of the oldest fossils are those of ancient algae that lived in the ocean more than 3 billion years.
