Question

This type of fossil is formed when a living organism dies, is buried beneath sand or soil, and hardens. As layers of rock wear away, this type of fossil surfaces
GPT 3.5
This type of fossil is known as a "petrified fossil." When a living organism dies and is buried beneath sand or soil, over time the organic material of the organism is replaced with minerals, turning it into a rock-like substance. As layers of rock wear away through erosion, the petrified fossil is exposed at the surface. These fossils provide valuable information about ancient life forms and environments.
