👉 Fossilizing is a biological process that involves the transformation of organic matter, such as dead plants or animals, into a form that can be preserved and studied for future generations. This process typically occurs through a series of chemical changes, including decomposition, oxidation, and respiration. In fossilization, organic materials are exposed to environmental conditions that cause them to undergo a chemical reaction, leading to the formation of new material. This new material is then stored in an environment where it can be studied or used
