Because with a Mummy, the tissues are preserved. Where as with a fossil, you have no tissue. You're really only left with fossilized bones.

No, a fossil is a plant or animal that has been covered in sand or silt and compressed over millions of years. A mummy is a dead person or animal that has been embalmed.
