9. Reading Text
There are two major types of fossils - body fossils and trace fossils. Both are the remains of living organisms. Body fossils reveal the body structure of the organism while trace fossils reveal the activities of these organisms. The process of fossilization is called taphonomy.

10. Fossil Record
The history of life as documented by fossils, the remains or imprints of the organisms from earlier geological periods preserved in sedimentary rock.
