Collection: Fossils and corals

Fossils are all remains and traces of plants and animals that are preserved in rock . Although this is often thought, fossils do not have to be 'petrified'. Very many fossils are indeed not petrified. Even from very old rocks, fossil remains are known that have hardly changed. Furthermore, many people think that fossils are always very old. This is also incorrect. Many very young fossils are known, created in a period when people were already on earth.
