Fossils

This fossil is a replacement fossil. You can tell because it doesn't actually look like a shell because when the soft parts decayed rocks forming minerals replaced the hard parts of it so it looks more like a rock.


This is an example of a trace fossil. You can tell because this isn't a dinosaurs foot, it's an imprint left by it which makes it a trace fossil because it has the shape of it.
