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 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.
