Today in 3 White we learnt about fossils and how they are formed.
A fossil is the remains of a creature who died. The body was covered in sediment and over time more layers formed. The creature decayed leaving an impression in the rock. Fossils can only be found in sedimentry rocks.
At the end of the afternoon we looked at a lady called Mary Anning. We watched the video on the link below.

Can you answer these questions:
What did Mary Anning call fossils?
What was her job?
What did she find?
Why was her find important?
