A bony fish that is buried rapidly in ocean sediment
How does a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock gets weathered into sediment by wind, water, and ices. The sediment is deposited in a basin and buried. The pressure of burial and the heat inside Earth turns that sediment into stone.
Which is the first step in the process during the formation of molded fossils?

How can a sedimentary rock become a breccias?
Firstly, a breccia is itself a kind of sedimentary rock. It consists mainly of large (pea sized and up), angular sediment grains. For an existing sedimentary rock to become a breccia, it must be weathered into fragments, redeposited elsewhere, and buried to sufficient pressure for the sediment to become rock.
What are the signs that coral is dying?
white in color overgrown by seaweed discoloration and sediment
Can a snail become a fossil?
Yes, snails can become fossils. When a snail dies, its shell may become buried in sediment and over time, minerals in the sediment can replace the original material of the shell, preserving it as a fossil. Fossilized snail shells can be found in many different types of rock formations.
