Yes, snails can become fossils. When a snail dies, its shell may become buried in sediment and over time, minerals in the sediment can replace the original material of the shell, preserving it as a fossil. Fossilized snail shells can be found in many different types of rock formations.
Such remains are known as fossils if the sediment is changed over eons into a sedimentary rock.
The climate at the time the fossile was preserved. :)
Minerals seeping into an organisms remains form fossils. sediment
Fossils are not found in water, but rather in the sediment deposits which includes the bottom of a body of water. Fossils are especially prevalent in shallow marine environments where they may become well preserved.

Darwin recognized that he evidence of ancient changes he was seeing were probably similar to Earth changes he was witnessing during his time period. Layers of silt covered marine fossils, earthquakes caused changes in the geologic formations, and volcanoes covered land formations and fossils.
Your question is confusing; fossils are found in the ground, specifically in sedimentary formations.
sediment rocks
Some fossils are found in the sedimentary rocks - along with shells and sediment.
fossils
The Doushantuo rock formation in China encompasses fossils. The fossils within the Doushantuo rock formations have been found to contain organisms that share traits with Amoebas.
Sediment is composed of little rocks, fossils,and dirt
Yes, sedimentary rock contains many fossils mainly because they can be gently cover with sediment and preserve the fossils.
right now they are only found inrock formations as fossils
