Biology > Evolution > Fossils

Fossils are the remains of organisms that were preserved thanks to certain environmental conditions. There are different types of fossils, the best known are the fossils of bones or shells that correspond to remains that were replaced with sedimentary rocks. However, fossil remains of feces (called coprolites) or feathers can also be found, for example.
