No. The hard bones are more likely to form a fossil. The soft parts will degenerate over time. This is why most of the fossils from the Pre-Cambrian and Cambrian periods are mostly shells, not the actual animals that inhabited them.
Harder parts of organisms become fossils. For example vasculature in plants and bones of animals are best preserves in the fossils.
The earliest fossils represent plants.
Answer by Ibrahim El-OseryConfidence votes 33.1KYes, fossils are the traces and remains of organisms and plants that were buried and maintained under pressure
Fossils are the mineralised remains of organisms and contain no organic material.
Any internal organs. Only bones become fossils.
No. Fossils are chemicals like stone that have replaced organisms after they die.
1.9 Billion, more depending on the amount of pasta consumed.
No, only a small number of organisms became fossils. Most dead organisms simply rot away or are eaten.
Really, anything can be fosslized. It really all depends on where it died. if it died in a lake and the lake dried and a layed of ground eroded over it than it would become fossleized by the nutrients found in that layer of ground. Like I said, depens on where it died, all that the location needs to be is a place where nutrient rich soil can preserve the bones. It just may seem like only certain organisms can be fosslized because they are all found those areas with preserving soil.

Fossils exist of nearly all formerly living organisms, with some exceptions, from single celled bacteria to the largest dinosaur. Marine organisms comprise the bulk of fossils that are easily available today.
Organisms such as dinosaurs, trilobites, ammonites, and dodo birds are examples of extinct organisms found in fossils. These organisms used to inhabit the Earth in the past but are no longer alive today.

Fossils are proof of organisms that lived long ago
