The illustration shows a fossil of a dinosaur skull. Which of the following best describes why this fossil is not made of bone but rock?
The dinosaur ate many plants that contained minerals.
The dinosaur died when a rock fell on it and crushed it.
The dinosaur skull changed from bone to rock in the ground.
The dinosaur died in the ocean and sank to the bottom.
The first step in the process of how fossil are formed is _________
As time passes, sediment hardens into rock, layering on top of the animal or plant part. The bones or shells decay into minerals, joining the rock.
An animal dies in a wet environment (such as a riverbank).
The animal's body or plant's leaves are covered in mud. Soft tissues or organs decompose or are eaten by other living things.
The hard parts are left behind. (bones, teeth, claws, beaks, etc.)
The second step in the process of how fossils are formed is _______
As time passes, sediment hardens into rock, layering on top of the animal or plant part. The bones or shells decay into minerals, joining the rock.
An animal dies in a wet environment (such as a riverbank)
The animal’s body or plant’s leaves are covered in mud. Soft tissues or organs decompose or are eaten by other living things.
The hard parts are left behind. (bones, teeth, claws, beaks, etc.)
The third step in the process of how a fossil is formed is ________.
As time passes, sediment hardens into rock, layering on top of the animal or plant part. The bones or shells decay into minerals, joining the rock.
An animal dies in a wet environment (such as a riverbank)
The animal’s body or plant’s leaves are covered in mud. Soft tissues or organs decompose or are eaten by other living things.
The hard parts are left behind. (bones, teeth, claws, beaks, etc.)
The last step in the process of how a fossil is formed is ________.
As time passes, sediment hardens into rock, layering on top of the animal or plant part. The bones or shells decay into minerals, joining the rock.
An animal dies in a wet environment (such as a riverbank)
The animal’s body or plant’s leaves are covered in mud. Soft tissues or organs decompose or are eaten by other living things.
