The most usually fossilized parts of organisms are bones and shells. These are least likely to rot or wear away before they are buried and mineralised. In rare instances the soft parts of the bodies are preserved and are normally shown as thin films on the rock surface.

What type of information is recorded in a trace fossils?
Evidence of an organism's activities is recorded in trace fossils. These include tracks, fossilized dung, and burrow casts.
How do soft animal parts become fossilized?
Soft animal parts usually rot and do not become fossilized.
Which condition makes fossil formation of an organism's remains more likely?
One condition that best increases the chance that an organism will become fossilized is if the burial happens rapidly. Another condition that can increase the chance of an organism becoming fossilized is if the organism has hard body parts.

What is fossil carbonization?
It is the carbon residue remaining from the organism or part of an organism that has been fossilized. Essentially what happens is that the organism is buried within a layer of sediment which solidifies. A chemical reaction takes place in which many of the elements that compose the organism are converted to gases and driven off, leaving behind a carbon residue (distillation) - and an outline of the original material.
What is the first thing that must happen before an organism becomes fossilized?
It must die.
How do soft animal parts become fossilized?
Soft animal parts usually rot and do not become fossilized.
