Fossils were formed when minerals (silica, especially) penetrated the tissues of plants and animals - under extreme pressure - turning them to stone; the result of being buried in mud under miles of water for a year.
Reptiles never stop growing as long as they live and the lifespan of some animals can be determined by the size of their fangs, horns, tusks or antlers. Trees and some grasses also never stop growing until they die.
Fish rot, or get eaten when they die, they don't turn into fossils. But fish fossils are found at high altitudes all over the world.
The only reason why fossils exist is because of the flood; 5000 years ago everything lived about ten times longer because the atmosphere was like a hyperbaric chamber (we know this from air samples extracted from fossilized sap). Science validates The Bible.
