They have microscopic darts attached to their trailing tenticles that give a painful and deabilitating sting. Jellyfish are called "stingers" in Australia and swimming in many places is not possible because of the results of the paralysing stings (death).

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.
