內容簡介: |
What is a fossil?
Sometimes it''s the imprint of an ancient leaf in a rock.
Sometimes it''s a woolly mammoth, frozen for thousands of years in
the icy ground. Sometimes it''s the skeleton of a stegosaurus that
has turned to stone.
A fossil is anything that has been preserved, one way or another,
that tells about life on Earth. But you can make a fossil,
too--something to be discovered a million years from now--and this
book will tell you how.
