STRANGEST FOSSIL DISCOVERIES
Fossils tell stories buried in time. They tell us how life was in history. They help us visualise wht animals and plants were in exitence and how they went through evolution.
Fossil forming s a slow process that happens through thousands of years when items or organisms get buried in rocks. According to list25.com
Fossilization is a complicated and time-consuming process. It normally happens when sediments are compacted under intense pressure combined with the replacement of organic matter by silica and other materials in a process referred to as petrification.
What are the strangest fossils to be discovered?...You ask.
1. Dinosaurs Fighting
This is one of the strangest and perhaps remarkble fossil finds. It showcases the Velociraptor and Protoceratops wh seem like they were in a fight when they were buried in a landslide. The Velociraptor has its claws lodged in the Protoceratops's neck.
2. Snake Eating Baby Dinosaur
Another fossil that tells a story is one of a snake eating a baby dinosaur. Something must have happened to kill both before they could disengage. It is very rare to find fossils of snakes but this one is very vivid and shows what was happening. The fossil is estimated to be 67 million years old. The fossil looks too good to be true. The snke has coiled around the baby dinasaur and it is on some eggs.
3. A Birth Fossil
One of the actions you would never expect to see on a fossil. This fossil shows a ancient ichthyosaur giving birth. This was an ancient sea monster that died when giving birth. the fossil is estimated to be 248-million-year-old. This proves that some reptiles gave birth during this time.
4. Sperm.
A sperm is microscopic and some diggers in Antarctica found 50 million year old sperm. The sperm was from a collared worm. Most organic matter breaks down but because this worm had stored it in a cocoon, it was able to survive all those years.
