FOSSILISATION (by Mme RUAULT-DJERRAB)

The purpose of this video is to explain what fossilization is and what are the favorable conditions for fossilization. This video is intended for 2nd year undergraduate students, specialized in Geology, but can of course be suitable for another audience (high school students, geology enthusiasts).
Video Highlights:
00:12: Introduction
00:37: Causes of mortality
01:27: Environmental conditions
03:28: Type of organism
04:59: Summary
