Question
select the best environments for fossilization *
□ jungle
□ windy desert
□ relatively shallow ocean depths with fine sediment
□ an inland lake
□ an anoxic swamp
□ a fast moving river
□ mountain tops
Fossilization requires rapid burial to protect remains from decay and erosion. Relatively shallow oceans with fine sediment allow quick burial; anoxic swamps lack oxygen (slowing decay) and have sediment for burial. Jungles/deserts/mountains have erosion or no burial; fast rivers destroy remains.
