How do you tell what fossl you have? |

[Edit]
The best way to identify fossils is to get a book or website that shows pictures of different types. Most fossils are formed by petrification, where part of the dead organism has slowly changed into rock. However, you might also find a fossil cast, where rock has formed around a dead organism and left a mold; it can either be a hollow space, or more rock may have filled in the shape of the organism. There are even fossil footprints and fossil poo!
