Fossils are generally found in sedimentary rock. Three parts of the animal body that get fossilized are shells, teeth and, bones.

Scientists use scanners to look at fossils without damaging them. Rain and ice can get into rocks and break them apart.

Some tools used to clean fossils are hammers, saws, and chisels. Paleontologists need to be very careful so they don't damage the fossils .

The crust is the part of the earth that we live on. It has a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.

Erosion happens when rocks are moved by ice or gravity. Erosion also happens when rocks and sediment move the rocks with their roots.

Weathering happens when rocks are worn away or broken down into smaller pieces.Organic weathering happens when plants break up rocks with their overgrown roots.
