Animal fossils are the ones that we
think of when we think of a fossil. Most of the fossils in movies and
TV are of dinosaurs. Any animal can become a fossil. A shark's tooth is
a fossil when you find it on the beach. You can even find shark's teeth
in the mountains.

Other types of animal fossils are of
bugs that have been trapped in sap. Fossils of fish are also common and
easy to find if you are a fossil hunter. Woolly mammoth fossils are very
interesting as well.
Fossils can be made from the remains of bones, teeth, skin, hair, or
shells. They can also be from footprints, burrows, or animal waste.
