Fun Facts About Fossils for Kids
Without fossils, we wouldn’t know about dinosaurs.
Some fossils are of footprints or animal burrows, rather than the animals themselves.
Fossilized poop is called coprolites. Scientists have found coprolites from Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs that contain bits of crushed bones.
It’s pretty unusual to find a whole fossilized animal. Scientists usually find shells, bones and teeth instead.
Scientists have found fossils of feathered dinosaurs.
Sometimes animal and plant remains are preserved, but they’re not turned to stone.
