Fossil marine animals ended up in the desert through a process called tectonic plate movement. Over millions of years, the Earth's crust shifted, causing ancient seabeds to rise and become exposed as deserts. The remains of marine animals that lived in these ancient seas were preserved as fossils in the desert rock layers.
