stromatolites
During the Precambrian times, life was mostly limited to single celled organisms. Life that was not single cellular didn't have any hard body part (like teeth, bones, shells, etc.) and so they weren't preserved.
The preserved remains of animals of evidence of their existence are Fossils Fosssils that provide evidence about the past are called trace fossils.
Sedimentary rock
it depends on how and were they died for example plants turn into peat, then coal animals turn into fossils if they died in the mud or sand animals or plants that are frozen would keep their hair and organs and shape both plants and animals, if nothing happened and they were left out to the elements, would just disintegrate and rot in time
Precambrian rocks contain relatively fewer fossils than rocks from different eras. This may be due to the fact that the rocks from this era were subject to a lot of heat and pressure, or were exposed to erosion.
Stromatolites

Precambrian is a geologic period that extends as back as 4.500 million years ago. Fossils are very rare from that period of time.
Actually, it isn't really true! We now know (unlike Darwin who would have rejoiced to know what we now know!) that fossils in the PreCambrian are numerous and spread world-wide. But many are very small and not easily recognised or exist in specialised geologically circumstance, often preserved in relatively little-known places. Much PreCambrian rock is igneous, products of vulcanism, and obviously do not preserve fossils. But where suitable conditions prevailed, unusual fossils can be found are a the subject of a great deal of study. Many of the best preserved are where fine volcanic ash settled over the ancient seabed preserving the soft-bodied forms which were around 500-600ma ago. Precambrian fossils may be found at several localities in UK (notably Charnwood Forest in Leicestershire), in Canada, Namibia, Russia, China and especially in Australia.
a fossil is a preserved remain or trace of an organism that lived in the past
stromatolites
very little, there are stromatolites, domed mates of microscopic algae that are aged as precambrian. No other fossils in the precambrian
it is mostly preserved in sedimentary rock
The Precambrian era is the longest geological era, spanning from about 4.6 billion years ago to 541 million years ago, but it is also the era with the least amount of detailed information available due to the lack of well-preserved rocks and fossils from that time period.
During the Precambrian times, life was mostly limited to single celled organisms. Life that was not single cellular didn't have any hard body part (like teeth, bones, shells, etc.) and so they weren't preserved.
Animals without backbones, called invertebrates, developed near the end of the Precambrian. Imprints of jellyfish and marine worms have been found in late Precambrian rocks. Because invertebrates were soft, they weren't easily preserved as fossils. This is one of the reasons why the Precambrian fossil record is so sparse.
