Dinosaur Fossils
What are Fossils? Fossils are ancient remains/traces of a once living organism that have been preserved. Commonly, fossils are the hard remains of the organism, such as the bones, teeth and cartilage while they could be footprints, dung or even prints of skin/scales. Fossils are formed by mud and other layers of soil and dirt built up over the years slowly squeezing together. While these ese layers where slowly squeezed together over millions of years while minerals in the soil slowly change the remains/trace into rock. What are Dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are reptiles that lived millions of years ago. A definition from the Oxford University Press Glossary (http://www.oup.com.au/orc/demo_glossary.aspx) states that dinosaurs are: “Reptiles, frequently of enormous size; the dominant land animals of the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods but now extinct.”
