Details

Translated from Kodansha's Childrens Colour Encyclopaedia. Distributed by Time-Life Books.

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals that lived in prehistoric times. Through fossils we are able to learn how life began, and also how different forms of life changed and developed as they evolved. Fossils are preserved in many different ways, but usually only the hard parts of the animals or plants - like shell, bone or wood - are preserved, while soft parts decay. Footprints that some animals left in mud have also been preserved through thousands of years. When conditions are right, whole carcasses might also be preserved. A woolly mammoth, for example, was found in the ice of Siberia, frozen solid, complete with flesh and hair.
