When did the first fossils form?
The oldest known fossils are up to 3.5 billion years old.
How long does it take for bones to fossilize?
The amount of time it takes for fossils to form is 12,000 years and 1.2 million years. Some scientists have stated that it can take 200 years for some fossils to form.
Does lamprophyre form fossils?
A lamprophyre is a type of ultramafic intrusive igneous rock. It is very rare for fossils to be formed in igneous rocks (and they usually only form as mold fossils in extrusive deposits). As such fossils will not form in lamprophyres.
Is the information of fossils a common event?
Fossils occur naturally after many hundreds to millions of years. They are more common under ideal conditions.
Is it possible for people to become fossils?
Yes, just the same as fish and animals have become fossils. It may take many thousands of years.
How do fossils give proof of evolution?

How the sea shell fossils get top of the mountains up to 1300 feet?
Marine fossils form when creatures die and sink to the bottom where there is little oxygen, and are covered with sediment. If sediment continues to accumulate, after many years its weight will crush the deposit, and in combination with well known chemical processes, can cement it into sandstone. Later, if the sea floor it lifted by any of a number of (again, well understood) geological processes, what was once the sea floor can become part of a mountain. Such a mountain can form in a few million years, where fossils have been forming for 3 BILLION years.
