Fun fact! Many fossils began forming millions of years ago when plants or animals were buried under layers of mud and sand. Over time, minerals slowly replaced the organic material, turning the remains into stone. Some fossils even preserve tiny details such as leaf veins, shell patterns, and insect wings. Even more amazing, the oldest known fossils on Earth are 3.5 billion years old, giving us clues about what life looked like long before dinosaurs roamed the planet.
