Скачать или смотреть Why Ocean Fossils Exist on the Summit of Mount Everest

Located on the more than 29,000 foot tall summit of Mount Everest, you might be surprised to encounter a number of fossils. These fossils include trilobites, crinoids, and shell fragments which date back to 470 million years ago. So, how did fossils end up at the very top of the Earth's highest point? This video will answer this question and briefly discuss the formation of Mount Everest and the Himalayas.
