Animals that became trapped at watering holes have been found preserved as fossils. These animals become an excellent record of life in past years for scientists.
Animals are not preserved as fossils. Fossils are imprints of the organism where the body has been replaced by rock minerals. They are most usually found in sedimentary rocks, occasionally in metamorphic rock but never in igneous rock.

Troodon is extinct and has no skin impressions preserved. For most prehistoric animals colour is currently unknown. However, there two studies have recently found preserved Melanosomein the feathers of Sinosaurepteryx and Anchiornis and have been able to decipher their colours.
Freezing organisms can help preserve them because if it is frozen, then bacteria can't eat it. Scientists have also found animals that have been preserved through freezing. Insects can be preserved in amber because before it hardens, it is a sticky substance where the insects can get stuck in. So, insects found in amber are usually perfectly preserved. The unfortunate animals that were preserved in the tar was the cause of going to drink water. As that animal gets stuck, another would try to go and eat it which ends up with both animals getting preserved in the tar. (ha,ha)
In theory, any kind of fossil can be preserved in ice, but among prehistoric animals, the most commonly found preserved in ice are mammoths and mastodons. We know exactly what a woolly mammoth looked like because entire specimens, hair and all, have been found frozen (the details of hair or skin most dinosaurs are depicted with is basically guesswork).
Yes, mammal fossils can be found in rocks. They are typically found in sedimentary rocks, such as limestone or shale, where the remains of ancient animals have been preserved over time. These fossils provide important insights into the evolution and history of mammals.

No, there has never been a fully intact dinosaur fossil found. Due to the nature of fossilization and the passage of time, it is extremely rare for remains to be preserved in such a complete state. Fossils are typically found fragmented or partially preserved.
