What is most likely to have a well-preserved fossil record?
Forams
Which fossil can preserve a whole animal?
The fossil that can preserve a whole animal is called a complete or articulated fossil. It occurs when the entire organism is preserved with all its anatomical parts intact, often due to quick burial in sediments that prevent decomposition or disintegration. Examples of complete fossils include the exceptional preservation of insects trapped in amber or well-preserved dinosaur fossils.
Why was the town of Herculaneum so well preserved when the archaeologists found it?
It was preserved very well because it was covered in ashes by volcanoes just like Pompeii.
What types of fossils does not form in sediments?
Well there are 3 types of fossils: Petrified Fossils, Molds and Cast, and Preserved Remains. Petrified Fossils are the organisms buried in the layers of sediment. Molds and Casts are the organisms, like shells, buried by sediments, in which they gradually dissolve. Preserved Remains are the organisms preserved in other substances. For example, entire organisms, such as huge elephant-like mammoths that lived thousands of years ago, have been preserved in ice. Therefore, Preserved Remains is a major type of fossil that does not form in sediments. This can be formed by decades of being stuck in the ice age and eventually falling through the ice and never getting out. Since you cant get out you get frozen! Being frozen and preserved in another type of substance in called... Preserved Remains! --Hope this could help. Thanks for reading.:)

What animal ate the woolly rhino?
A lion could eat a woolly rhino, humans, and hyenas. But the lions would probably go after the old and sick. ( also known as the weak one's so there not as strong. and they cannot attack the group lionesses as easily) hyenas would more in-likely go after the weak also. And probably the same purpose as the lions as well. And humans... they literally eat anything so were the "hunters" ( at-least i would say that)
What part of our body could be preserved as a fossil?
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.

What fossil is preserved in ice and snow?
In theory, any kind of fossil can be preserved in ice, but among prehistoric animals, the most commonly found preserved in ice are mammoths and mastodons. We know exactly what a woolly mammoth looked like because entire specimens, hair and all, have been found frozen (the details of hair or skin most dinosaurs are depicted with is basically guesswork).
