When a fish dies and sinks to the bottom of a body of water, it can become buried by sediment. Over time, the soft tissues decompose and the bones are slowly replaced by minerals from the surrounding sediment, eventually turning into stone. This process, known as fossilization, can preserve the fish's shape and structure, creating a fossil.

How do you become a Centaur?

You will need a bucket of dead fish, a $50 iTunes gift card, and Criss Angel's autograph. Dump the dead fish on the autograph and say "O Great Centaur Spirits, let this gift card appease you!" while holding the iTunes gift card to the sky. Then say, "Make me a mermaid!" and eat 7 of the dead fish. You will either become a centaur, die, or have us laugh at you for even reading this.
