Fossils include bones, teeth, footprints, and skin impressions. Plants also fossilize.
How was it made?
Two million years ago
The passing of millions of
years has seen mountain
ranges rising above the
fossilized
T. rex
, but gradually
they are being worn down by
extreme weather.
Last year
The area around the fossil is
now a desert. Two walkers
investigate further when
they see the exposed tip of
a fossilized bone.
Today
Palaeontologists are now
hard at work, uncovering
the rest of the
T. rex
. The
bones will be removed one
by one. The skeleton may
end up in a museum.
