Happy National Fossil Day!
Fossils are the remains or traces of plants and animals that lived long ago. This can include anything from an enormous dinosaur skeleton to the impression of delicate ferns. Studying these fossils allow us to trace the history of the earth and the evolution of different organisms and is crucial to our understanding of our universe, our planet, and our own origins.
