Any part of the body can be preserved as a fossil.

The most common parts of the body to be fossilised are the hard parts such as claws, teeth and bones but it is also possible to fossilise soft tissue as well.

One example of Thescelosaurus shows extensive soft tissue fossilisation. It was given the nick name of "Willo" the dinosaur with a heart.
