Fossils are physical evidence of prehistoric animals and plants. They tell us about the history of our planet, from climate and evolution to diets and diseases. There may be more to these prehistoric remains than you ever realised. When an organism dies and is quickly covered by layers of mud, sand or silt, it has the potential to become a fossil.
