How do most fossils form?

Answer 1

Most fossils form when the organism is buried under water bourn sediments and then the organic material is replaced by mineral materials.

The majority of fossils are found in sedimentary layers; the fact that they are found in thick layers of sediment suggests that the organic material beneath them was buried beneath aquatic sediments.

The most common type of fossils are those that have become mineralized, like fossilized wood, in which the organic material has dissolved and been replaced by minerals.
