Plankton is made up of animals and plants that either float passively in the water, or possess such limited powers of swimming that they are carried from place to place by the currents.

Preparing fossils, reconstructing the past
https://australian.museum/learn/australia-over-time/fossils/preparing-fossils-reconstructing-the-past/

The very early stages of piecing together the animals and plants of the past involve removing their fossils from the rock and preserving them for study.

Dinosaurs living together
https://australian.museum/learn/dinosaurs/dinosaurs-living-together/
