Fossil forming s a slow process that happens through thousands of years when items or organisms get buried in rocks. According to list25.com
Fossilization is a complicated and time-consuming process. It normally happens when sediments are compacted under intense pressure combined with the replacement of organic matter by silica and other materials in a process referred to as petrification.
