Things tend to decompose in a warm and moist environment. Mummification/fossilization typically happens in either very cold climates, very dry climates, or both. Since the rain forest is both warm and damp, decomposition typically happens very quickly.

Why would a fossil be found in a desert environment?
First of all the animal that the fossil is from was going to a different location and died there, so it would still be there. Also the desert 50 million years ago could have been a forest where many different organisms live.
