i believe that soft tissue can be fossilized in the right conditions, because not so long ago an elephant was found in ice where the tissue (and bones) were still in tact, but the body was flattened.. if your talking about solid ground then no, soft tissue cannot be fossilized.

though im not completely sure being frozen in ice is fossilization.. its most likely.

True or false Only bones can be fossilized soft tissue cannot?

False. Soft tissues can also be fossilized under certain conditions, although it is much more rare compared to the fossilization of bones. Soft tissue preservation can occur in exceptional cases, such as in the fossilized remains of animals found in frozen environments like the ice age.

Only bones can be fossilized can soft tissue?

Soft tissues can also fossilize under certain conditions. In rare cases, soft tissues like skin, feathers, or organs can be preserved in fossils. This typically occurs when the organism is buried rapidly in a low-oxygen environment that slows down the decomposition process.
