Which organisms have the best chance of being preserved?
Organisms with hard parts like shells, bones, or exoskeletons have the best chance of being preserved as fossils. This is because these hard parts are more likely to withstand the processes of fossilization and degradation. Additionally, organisms that lived in environments conducive to fossilization, such as sediments or tar pits, also have a better chance of being 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.
Are fossils of today's plants and animals being preserved?
Yes, fossils of today's plants and animals are being preserved. Fossils can form under the right conditions, such as in sedimentary rock or tar pits, and represent a snapshot of ancient life that can help scientists understand past ecosystems and evolutionary processes. However, the process of fossilization is rare and not all organisms become preserved as fossils.
Why do you not see the head and tentacles on the fossil?
When the animals were being pressed down a long time ago, they sensed danger was coming. An animal's instinct is to hide when they sense a predator, or danger of any sort. They must have hid their heads in their shells, and pulled in their tentacles.
What three hard structures do organisms that are more likely to become fossils have?
The most common fossils found are from bones, teeth and claws. Soft tissue such as skin, muscle and internal organs rarely become fossils because they generally decay far to quickly for the normal processes of fossilization.

Does fossilization need oxygen to occur?
Most organisms we find in the fossil record depend on oxygen to survive, but it is not necessary in the actual process of fossilization. In fact, a lack of oxygen would actually improve an organism's chance of being preserved, as it would hold back decay.

Only bones can be fossilized soft tissue cannot?
i believe that soft tissue can be fossilized in the right conditions, because not so long ago an elephant was found in ice where the tissue (and bones) were still in tact, but the body was flattened.. if your talking about solid ground then no, soft tissue cannot be fossilized. though im not completely sure being frozen in ice is fossilization.. its most likely.
How is the Amazon River preserved?
it is preserved by being farted on and pooped on :o
Why is it difficult to find fossilized plants and animals together in the same location?
Fossilized plants and animals are often found separately because they have different preservation conditions. Plants are usually preserved in sedimentary rocks, while animals are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks or amber. The chances of both being preserved together in the same location are low due to the specific conditions required for fossilization to occur.
How was Oetzi preserved?
He was preserved by being frozen shortly after he died. This is why he is called the 'Iceman'.
What is the two conditions that help the process of fossilization?
Fossilization is aided by rapid burial of remains in sediment, which prevents decomposition, and the presence of minerals in the surrounding environment that gradually replace the organic matter of the organism, creating a fossil.
Where is the oseberg ship being preserved?
The well preserved Oseberg ship from 820 is preserved in the Viking Ship Hall in Oslo, Norway
What condition result from an excess amount of tissue fluid?
The term used for excess fluid in tissues is edema. The more complete name is lymphedema and is usually the result of the lymphatic system not being able to move lymphatic fluid from tissues back into the blood stream, which results in the 'bloating' associated with it.
