Fossil Formation

A matching picture activity sheet I designed and illustrated for Scarborough Museums Trust, showing the stages of how a trace fossil is formed. Children can cut out the pictures and match them with the correct description, learning about the geological stages of rock formation and how fossils are made.

I also put together this sharable infographic about how a trace fossil is formed, using the information and illustrations created for this project.
