Answer:

Explanation:Fossils are formed in many different ways, but most are formed when a living organism (such as a plant or animal) dies and is quickly buried by sediment (such as mud, sand or volcanic ash).

— for a fossil to form, sediment must cover the organism quickly. the sediment protects the remains from scavenging animals, erosion and decay. most often, fossils include hard tissue like bones, teeth, shells and wood, since soft tissue rarely preserves. but footprints and other marks left behind can fossilize too.
