It is no surprise to find seashells on the beach. Most seashells are found near the sea. But some seashells have been found on high mountain tops. That is a funny place for seashells. How did they get there?
The earth did not always look the way it does today. Once the sea covered more of the land. Then mountains pushed up. They pushed up through the water. Land from the bottom of the sea became mountain tops. Seashells and fish bones were pushed up, too. They were now far away from sea water. They were left high and dry.
The seashells and fish bones were covered with soft mud and sand. The mud became hard. It turned to stone. The shapes of the shells and bones were pressed into the stones. These stones are called fossils.
