Fossils are generally found in sedimentary rocks, which are formed by the gradual deposition of silt, sand or calcium carbonate over millions of years in regions such as lakes or sea during their formation, the dead animals are carried to the sea or large lake, sink down and get burned in the rocks. The animals, thus preserved in the rocks, are converted into fossils.
