Tar is known as Asphalt fossils. Asphalt preserve only hard parts of organisms such as teeth, bones and the outer shells of spiecies. Countless numbers of these fossils are preserved in tar pits.

What are the types of fossils?
molds and casts, trace fossils, petrified wood, and carbon filmThe four types of fossils are mold fossils, cast fossils, true-form fossils, and trace fossils. Mold fossils are impressions from when the plant or animal first decomposed. Cast fossils are plant or animal remains. True-form fossils are remaining body parts from an animal. Trace fossils are marks that have been left by animal, such as footprints.
What is asphalt sidewalk made of?
Asphalt usually means one of two things: 1) asphalt cement or 2) asphalt pavement. Asphalt cement, also called bitumen, is a viscous black liquid refined from crude petroleum or mined from natural deposits. When asphalt cement is heated and mixed with aggregate, it can be used to create asphalt pavements, also sometimes called tarmac or blacktop. The exact composition of a pavement depends upon the project specifications and intended use, but they generally contain a mix of fine and course aggregates (rocks and sand) of differing sizes. About 5% of a typical asphalt pavement is made of asphalt cement, which acts as a binder to hold the aggregate together.

What is the difference between cold mix asphalt and cutback asphalt?
Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of aggregate and asphalt. Cutback asphalt is a liquid asphalt. Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of Aggregate and Asphalt. The Asphalt is usually am emulsion asphalt or a cutback asphalt. An emulsion asphalt is asphalt cement blended with water. Cutback asphalt is asphalt cement blended with a fuel oil, kerosene, or a naptha. The water, fuel oil, kerosene or Naphta evaporates and leaves the asphalt.
Why do the La Brea Tar Pit fossils represent a local community of plants and animals that lived in Southern California during the Ice Age?
because, unlike groups of fossils in most sedimentary rocks, the asphalt traps provide a reliable record of animal and plant communities living in one place. --A
How many different ways can fossils form?
When most people think of fossils they think of dinosaur skeletons and large bones, but there are many different types of fossils to be found. Palaeontologists, people who study fossils, divide them into two major types - body fossils and trace fossils. Body fossils show us what a plant or animal looked like. The first type, body fossils, are the fossilised remains of an animal or plant, like bones, shells and leaves. These can be mould and cast fossils, like most of the fossilised dinosaur skeletons and big bones we see, replacement fossils, like petrified wood, or whole body fossils - mammoths caught in ice, or insects trapped in amber. Petrified wood, frozen mammoths, and insects in amber are all body fossils. The second type of fossil records the activity of an animal. Known as trace fossils, these include footprints, trackways, and coprolites (fossil poo!). Footprints and coprolite are trace fossils - they show us how an animal lived.
