Animal remains are most likely to be fossilized if their hard parts are covered by layers of sediments soon after death. With time and pressure, these sediments, such as sand, plant debris, or ash, become compressed into rock. Therefore, fossils are found in sedimentary rock, like sandstone, shale,
Let’s look at a hypothetical fossil locality to see this process in action. 100 million

Stratigraphy is the scientific study of geological history. It originated about 200 years ago with the work of an English engineer named William Smith, who saw the same layers of fossil-bearing rock as he surveyed different parts of England. This observation led Smith to draft maps of those layer

Neohipparion was the most successful hipparion horse in terms of number of species in the fossil record. Hipparion horses have been found in North America, Europe, and Asia. Where & When? Neohipparion fossils are found in sediments dating from the mid-Miocene through early Pliocene of North
