When it is like that, the remains decompose and form into dirt.
In the SSW #20 the answer to #3 down is decompose
Yes, it is possible for humans to become petroleum. I think, at least, because noone has ever become fossil fuels and ever lived to tell the tale. So, the secret. You have to be buried deep deep down with a lot of pressure an no exposure to oxygen. I don't know about the air in you're lungs, but if you decay like that it might be possible. Right, that's about all the tips I can give. No coffin either. -Dr. Shoe
A dead animal would decay faster in a rainforest due to the warm and humid conditions that accelerate the decomposition process. In contrast, the dry conditions of a desert would slow down the decay process due to the lack of moisture and slower microbial activity.
When an organism dies, it can become buried in sediment which helps protect it from decay. Over time, minerals from the surrounding environment can seep into the organism's tissues, gradually replacing them and forming a fossil. The process of fossilization can take millions of years.

An animal fossil can be buried in sedimentary rock layers such as sandstone, shale, or limestone that have accumulated over time. The fossilization process occurs when the remains of an animal are buried quickly after death, protecting them from decay and allowing for the formation of a fossil.

Carbon
they die and they decay
If chromium undergoes gamma decay, it remains as chromium. Gamma decay is a type of radioactive decay where a nucleus releases gamma rays to reach a more stable state, but the identity of the element remains the same.
No, not every ancient animal created a fossil. Fossilization is a rare process that requires specific conditions such as quick burial and the presence of minerals to preserve an organism's remains. As a result, the fossil record represents only a small fraction of all the organisms that have lived on Earth.
When plants and animals (any living matter) decay, their remains are in the soil, in the material called humus.
NO
noFossils can form when the remains of an organism decay. ... When a dead organismis buried, it often decayscompletely, leaving only an impression in the rock in a formof a hollow mold. The hard parts are most likely to leave an impression, although sometimes so can soft parts.
Actually, any kind of plant/animal could have died to form coal. But not just any type of coal. Bituminous coal, to be exact. This happens when dead plant/animal's remains (though mostly plant, a small percentage of bituminous coal is from animal remains) are buried under a body of water (usually a swamp) and decay there for a while, forming a thick layer. Then it needs to be buried by a lot of 'sediments', usually mud/sand to compress the plant/animal remains into coal.
The term for an organism that causes decay is decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi. they chemically break down organic matter for food. the decay caused by the decomposers is part of a process that produces detritus, small pieces of dead and decaying plant/animal remains.
If I was buried in an airtight capsule my body would not decay because of a lack of oxygen. If your body was not locked in an airtight capsule it would decay overtime because the bacteria responsible for decomposition of organic matter are present in oxygen.
