Really, anything can be fosslized. It really all depends on where it died. if it died in a lake and the lake dried and a layed of ground eroded over it than it would become fossleized by the nutrients found in that layer of ground. Like I said, depens on where it died, all that the location needs to be is a place where nutrient rich soil can preserve the bones. It just may seem like only certain organisms can be fosslized because they are all found those areas with preserving soil.

Do fossils relate to living organisms?
No. Fossils are chemicals like stone that have replaced organisms after they die.
What are the most common animal remains that become fossilized?
Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the geologic past. Trace fossils are made by marks left by organisms while still alive, such as tracks, burrows, and dung.Decomposition, weathering, and scavenging all contribute to what makes fossils so rare.Almost all fossils are found in sedimentary rock; almost none are found in metamorphic or igneous rock.Fossils are our only direct key to the past, informing us about migratory patterns, weather and environmental conditions, species' interaction, and animal behavior.Scientists use index fossils to place events on the geologic time scale. The organisms that become index fossils are chosen because they had relatively short geologic life spans, wide geographic ranges, and are easily identified.
What organisms in fossils are now extinct?
99% of all organism who lived once are now extinct, so a list would be more than extensive! Dinosaurs are the big fossils. Mammal fossils are big too. Human and proto-human fossils may be the biggest things in fossils ever.
Who studies fossil?
All the sixth graders studied fossils.
How do fossils become fossils through carbonization?
- This results from removal of all but the carbon elements. Other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are removed.

What percentage of organisms today will become fossils?
1.9 Billion, more depending on the amount of pasta consumed.
Fossils of organisms found in the early Precambriam are all of?
unicellular prokaryotes
Fossils of organisms found in the early precambrian are all of?
unicellular prokaryoytes
Did most fossils com from dinosaurs?
Fossils exist of nearly all formerly living organisms, with some exceptions, from single celled bacteria to the largest dinosaur. Marine organisms comprise the bulk of fossils that are easily available today.

Why will scientists never know about all the species on earth?
Most organisms never became fossils
How do fossils provide evidence that organisms did not evolve all at once?
honestly know body actually knows when the organisms evolved! people need to do research and stop telling all these lies

Are all animals organisms?
i dont know but want to find out
