How does the process of fossilization occur?

A) Bones become rocks when exposed to high temperatures.
B) Minerals seep into the spaces of bones, turning them into rocks.
C) Bones are buried deep in the ground by sediment and later exposed.
D) The Sun dries out bones until they are hardened and preserved.

Fossilization

The process by which organic materials are preserved in the Earth's crust over geological time, becoming fossils.

Minerals

Naturally occurring inorganic substances with a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure, vital for various biological and industrial processes.

Sediment

Particulate material that is transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice, often forming layers on the Earth's surface.
