Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The remains were once the hard parts of an organism, like bones and shells,however under special circumstances, soft tissues have also fossilised. There are different types of fossils because remains can be preserved in different ways.
Trace Fossils – These are the preserved evidence of an animal’s activity or behavior, rather than the remains of the animal itself. Examples of trace fossils that have been found include: trilobite tracks marine invertebrate burrows ichthyosaur coprolites (fossilised excretion)
Fossils with some organic material preserved – During Fossilisation, animal and plant remains can experience a variety of physical
