Only under unusually specific conditions would a soft-bodied creature such as a jellyfish be capable of making a fossil. If deposited in an extremely fine suspension of mud, and presuming that there were no scavenging organisms present.
Such fossils are known, and you'll find some data in wikipedia under Ediacaran.
What else can I help you with?
Which is most likely to fossilize a cla or a jellyfish?
A clam.
Why does a clam fossilize and the jellyfish doesnt?
Jellies have no bones. When they die, they just dissolve.
Jellyfish have rarely been fossilized because they -?

Which is the most likely to fossilize a clam or jellyfish?
A clam is more likely. Jellies have no bones.
Why is it easier for dinosaur bones to be fossilized than jellyfish?
Dinosaur bones are made of hard, durable material like calcium phosphate, which is more resistant to decay than the soft tissue of jellyfish. Jellyfish are composed mainly of water and soft tissues that decompose quickly, making it harder for them to fossilize. The conditions needed for fossilization, such as rapid burial and protection from scavengers, are more likely to occur for hard, mineralized bones than soft-bodied organisms like jellyfish.
Why is a mammoth more likely to fossilize than a caterpillar?
A mammoth is more likely to fossilize than a caterpillar because a caterpillar has no hard tissue. Bones and cartilage are much more likely to fossilize.
What is the synonym for petrify?

Can you find fossil remains of a jellyfish or a worm?
Only under unusually specific conditions would a soft-bodied creature such as a jellyfish be capable of making a fossil. If deposited in an extremely fine suspension of mud, and presuming that there were no scavenging organisms present. Such fossils are known, and you'll find some data in wikipedia under Ediacaran.
