What the future global energy mix should be dominated by fossils.

Introduction of fossil:

The word fossil comes from the Latin word fossillis, which means to dig. Fossils are the main object of study in paleontology, which provides evidence for the study of the history of animal and plant life in geological time. There have long been records of fossils in ancient Chinese books, such as Ji Ran in the Spring and Autumn Period and Wu Jin in the Three Kingdoms Period, both of which mentioned that Shanxi Province produces "dragon bones", which are the fossilized bones and teeth of ancient vertebrates;

In the long geological era, there have been countless fossils living on the earth.

In the long geological era, the earth has lived countless creatures, the remains of these creatures after death or life left traces, many of which were buried by the mud and sand at that time.

In the following years, the organic matter in the remains of these organisms decomposed, and the hard parts such as shells, skeletons, branches and leaves, together with the surrounding sediments, were turned into stone through petrification, but their original forms and structures (and even some of the subtle internal structures) were still preserved.

In the same way, the traces left behind by living creatures can be preserved in this way. These petrified remains are called fossils, and fossils generally take hundreds of millions of years to form.

Often the softer parts, such as muscle or epidermis, erode away before they are preserved, leaving only the more resistant parts, such as bone or shell. They are then replaced by minerals that have seeped in from the surrounding sediments. Many fossils are also flattened by the weight of the rocks that cover them.

Simply put, fossils are the "rocks" that are the remains or relics of organisms that lived in the distant past. Many were buried by the mud and sand of the time. In the years that followed, the organic material in the remains of these organisms broke down; in the same way, traces of the life of those organisms can be preserved in this way.

We call these petrified remains of creatures fossils. From the fossils, we can see the appearance of ancient animals and plants, so we can deduce the living conditions and living environment of ancient animals and plants, we can deduce the age of the formation of the buried fossilized strata and the changes that they have undergone, and we can see the changes in living creatures from ancient times to the present day, etc.

We can see that the fossilized remains of these organisms have been preserved.
