Preserved remains are formed when the body of an organism is preserved and protected from decay through freezing, being trapped in tar, sap from a tree hardens around the body, or the body is put in a bog. (Like a peat bog.)
There are many different ways that an organism can be preserved. A few ways are mumification, buried in segments, taxidermy, freezing, fossilization, along with many others.
Successful fossilization or preservation of an organism can occur in several ways: (1) preservation without change; (2) complete replacement by a mineral; (3) filling in of a hollow space by a mineral; (4) formation of a thin film of carbon; and (5) formation of an imprint or the filling in of an imprint.
Organisms can be preserved as fossils through several methods, including permineralization (minerals infiltrating bone or wood), natural casts (sediment filling in the shape of an organism), amber preservation (organisms trapped in tree resin), freezing (organisms preserved in ice), and desiccation (organisms dried out in arid conditions). Fossils can reveal crucial information about Earth's history, such as the types of organisms that existed at different times, evolutionary transitions, and past environmental conditions. They also provide insights into extinction events and the changes in biodiversity over geological time. By studying fossils, scientists can reconstruct ancient ecosystems and understand the Earth's climatic shifts.
This is the best means of preservation of ancient materials. It happens only rarely. The animal must be continually frozen from the time of death until discovery. That limits the possibilities to cold hardy animals from the last ice age. There have been remarkable discoveries of mammoth and wooly rhinoceros found in ice from Alaska and Siberia. Specimens with flesh, skin, and hair intact have been found. Some of these finds suggest that they were flash frozen, with food still in the mouth and stomach.
