Can a worm be fossilized?
Yes, a worm can be fossilized, but it is extremely rare, because it has no skeleton to be mineralized over time. So the only way you could find a fosssil of a worm is in a sandstone, because there it could have chances to be preserved.
Which part of an organism is most likely to become fossilized?
Hard parts such as bones, teeth, and shells are most likely to become fossilized as they have a higher chance of being preserved over time. Soft tissues like muscles and organs usually decay before fossilization can occur.
How can Scavengers and bacteria make it difficult for fossils to form?
Scavengers can quickly consume carcasses, preventing them from becoming fossilized. Bacteria can also break down organic material before it has a chance to become fossilized. Both scavengers and bacteria can disturb or destroy potential fossils by moving bones, scattering pieces, or degrading the remains.
What part of an organism are usually fossilized?
The most usually fossilized parts of organisms are bones and shells. These are least likely to rot or wear away before they are buried and mineralised. In rare instances the soft parts of the bodies are preserved and are normally shown as thin films on the rock surface.

Any organic material can potentially be fossilized, including bones, teeth, shells, wood, plants, and feathers. Soft tissues can also be fossilized under exceptional conditions, such as in amber or in ice.
Can a worm be fossilized?
Yes, a worm can be fossilized, but it is extremely rare, because it has no skeleton to be mineralized over time. So the only way you could find a fosssil of a worm is in a sandstone, because there it could have chances to be preserved.
Why is LaBreaCA famous?
The tar pits, which yielded many fossilized dinosaur bones many years ago.
True or false Only bones can be fossilized soft tissue cannot?
False. Soft tissues can also be fossilized under certain conditions, although it is much more rare compared to the fossilization of bones. Soft tissue preservation can occur in exceptional cases, such as in the fossilized remains of animals found in frozen environments like the ice age.
How many years for bones to become petrified or fossilized?
To be fossilised it can take anywhere from a few decades to a couple of years.
