No, fossilization is a very rare event. Most fossils are found in what were marine sediments some of which are full of signs of life, ie. trace fossils, but no actual body fossils. Land animals and plants are poorly represented in the fossil record because, unless they died in or near a body of water their bodies are not buried naturally before they rot or are scavenged.
The most common method of fossilization is permineralization. This occurs when minerals in groundwater fill in the empty spaces of organic material, creating a fossilized replica of the original organism. Over time, the minerals in the groundwater harden and preserve the organism's structure.

Mineral fossilization most commonly occurs in the presence of water. Water plays a critical role in transporting mineral ions to replace organic material in the fossilization process. However, in some cases, fossilization can occur in arid or dry environments through other processes like desiccation or replacement by volcanic minerals.

No, mineral fossilization typically requires water to transport minerals to the remains of the organism and facilitate the crystallization process. Water helps in the replacement of organic material with minerals, forming a fossil.
The typical sequence or order of fossilization is when a plant or animal dies parts are preserved by freezing, mummification, distillation, or permineralization.
The process of changing the hard parts of animal or plant remains with minerals is called fossilization. This process can involve the replacement of organic materials with minerals, preserving the structure of the original organism as a fossil for scientific study.
