What else can I help you with?
Why is a mammoth more likely to fossilize than a caterpillar?
A mammoth is more likely to fossilize than a caterpillar because a caterpillar has no hard tissue. Bones and cartilage are much more likely to fossilize.
Why doesnt everything fossilize?
Not all organisms are preserved as fossils because the conditions required for fossilization are rare. Factors such as rapid burial, absence of oxygen, and the presence of minerals must align to preserve an organism as a fossil. Additionally, the soft tissues of organisms often decay before they can be fossilized.

A clam.
Would you more likely find the fossil remains of a fox or moth?
A fox would be the most likely. A moth is smaller, and therefore would take less time to decompose. However, for anything to(technically) fossilize takes a very long time
What conditions are required for plants and animals to fossilize?
mainly high pressure but you'll also need sediment such as rock or sand to smash it and as the soft parts of the plant decay they leave impressions on the rock
