Most dead organisms are eaten or rot away quickly. If a fossil is to form, the body has to fall somewhere it is protected physically and chemically. It then has to be in a position where rocks form around it, and it has to remain fairly intact whilst its shape becomes preserved in stone. There are a lot of odds against the process.
