Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the mineralized or otherwise preserved remains or traces (such as footprints) of animals, plants, and other organisms. Using radiometric dating techniques, geologists have determined most fossils to be several thousands to several billions of years old. Fossils vary in size from microscopic, such as single cells, to gigantic, such as dinosaurs. Fossilization is actually a rare occurrence because most components of formerly-living things tend to decompose relatively quickly following death. In order for an organism to be fossilized, the remains normally need to be covered by sediment as soon as possible. However there are exceptions to this, such as if an organism becomes frozen, desiccated, or comes to rest in an anoxic (oxygen-free) environment such as at the bottom of a lake (e.g. Fish Fossil). There are several different types of fossils and fossilization processes. Fossil Gifts are ideal presents if you've looking for something different, visit our full range of fossils which include shark teeth, sand dollars , trilobites, goniatite and Orthocerus |
