Many fossils form because an animal dies and its body sinks to the ocean floor where it is buried in sediment. The bone sinks in the sediment and more is added on top. As the pressure increases the sediment turns into rock. The bone then dissolves from water and leaves a hole in its place. This natural mold is filled with minerals from the water. The area surrounding the fossil is then brought back to the surface after millions of years of erosion.
