Question

In which of the following circumstances is an animal’s body more likely to become a fossil?

  1. If the body is abandoned on the ground.
  2. If the body has extremely light bones or no hard body parts.
  3. If the body is deeply buried in the ground.
  4. All of the actions described.

The correct answer is: If the body is deeply buried in the ground.


    If an animal’s body is buried deep in the ground, the chances of it being eaten by animals or destroyed by bacteria, erosion, or fungi are greatly reduced. The deeper the animal remains are buried, the more likely they will turn into fossils. The same thing happens to organisms that die in the sea.
