Question: A fossil is the preserved remains of a living thing. Many fossils form in still water where what builds up? What parts of the organism decay? What parts, such as bone and teeth, remain? provide evidence to prove your answer is correct
Fossils often form in still water when the hard parts of an organism, such as bone and teeth, are covered by sediment that builds up over time. As the sediment accumulates, the soft parts of the organism decay, leaving the harder parts embedded in the sediment. This leaves evidence in the fossil record to prove that the hard parts of the organism remained, while the soft parts decayed and were not preserved.
