Is it true that Fossils most often form when a dead organism is buried in sediments.?
yes only if they are buried for over millions of years
Why would you not expect a fossil buried million years ago to look exactly like modern day organism?
evolution occurred
An organism becomes a fossil after it what?
An organism becomes a fossil after it is buried by sediment and undergoes a process called fossilization. This involves the deposition of minerals that replace the organic material of the organism, preserving its structure. Over millions of years, the remains may become rocks or minerals that retain a record of the organism.
What must usually happen in order for a dead organism to be preserved as a fossil?
B. The organism must be buried in sediment soon after it dies.C - the organism must go through a process of petrificationNeededMoist sediment or soilorganism trapped, dieslack of anything disturbing that areamoistness ; warmth ; heat to break down additional layeringpressure from more layers on toplengthy amount of time (millions of years)
How would a fossil form through mineral replacement?
Fossils form through the process of mineral replacement beginning when an organism dies and is buried. Groundwater seeps around the organism, and the minerals in the water gradually replace the minerals in the hard parts of the organism. Over time these minerals turn into a stone replica of an organism.
Is a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves called?
No, a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves is called a mold fossil. It is created when the organic material of the organism dissolves, leaving behind an impression or cavity in the sediment that hardens into rock.

Will a banana rot if buried in soil?
no it will stay good for millions of years
Why would you not expect a fossil buried millions of years ago to look exactly like modern-day organisms?
Nothing sexual reproduces perfectly ... a side effect of evolution. The "fossils" of single celled organisms can look exactly the same, even over a billion years.
A pirate map shows what exactly?
Where the treasure is buried.
Does and organism have to be buried to become a fossil?
