Line 6:

Compression fossils are formed most commonly in [[ecosystem|environment]]s where fine sediment is deposited, such as in [[river delta]]s, [[lagoon]]s, along [[river]]s, and in [[pond]]s. The best rocks in which to find these fossils preserved are [[clay]] and [[shale]], although [[volcanic ash]] may sometimes preserve plant fossils as well.
