Fossil formation begins when an organism or part of an organism falls into soft sediment, such as mud. The organism or part then gets quickly buried by more sediment. As more and more sediment collects on top, the layer with the organism or part becomes compacted. Minerals from water then move into the pore spaces between sediment particles. The sediment cements together and becomes rock with the organism or part inside. ;

Fossilization occurs through a series of steps starting with the death of an organism, followed by its burial in sediment and eventual mineralization. This process leads to the transformation of the organism's remains into stone. Factors such as sediment accumulation and environmental conditions greatly influence whether an organism becomes a fossil.
