The processes that occur in the rocks and allow the formation of the fossils are the compaction and cementation of sediments.

Explanation:

Fossils are organic remains belonging to living organisms - animals or plants - that are deposited in the soil. In the course of time, rock sediments cover them until they are buried in the ground.

The process of fossil formation is due to the processes of compaction and cementation of the sediments.

Fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock, which favors the process of conservation of these remains.
