Fossils are the remains of plants and animals that have been preserved for millennia in stones under the Earth's surface. They contain the long chapters of the history of our Earth. Fossils tell us what the earth looked like many millions of years ago, what kind of animals and plants lived on its surface and how it was changing. Fossils show us a history of over a billion years old.
