Fossils are a record of a once living thing that is now found in a rock. Trace fossils are impressions of something that was once alive - like a leaf or footprint. You can make your own "rocks" at home and put trace fossils of things found in nature (or your hand print) in them using this simple method with stuff you probably already have at home. Enjoy!
