The Process of Fossiliation - How a fossil is made -FREE

This free fossil formation resource is the perfect addition to your science lessons on dinosaurs, fossils, and paleontology! Kids are always fascinated by fossils, and this set makes it easy to show them step-by-step how living things can become preserved over millions of years.

One important teaching point highlighted in this resource is that not all animals become fossils—a key concept for building real understanding in young scientists.
