anything living can be come a fossil
To become a fossil...
an animal or plant must die in water or near enough to fall in shortly after death. The water insulates the remains from many of the elements that contribute to decomposition.
As time passes, sediments bury the exoskeleton. The faster this happens the more likely fossilization will occur.
As the sediments continue to pile on, the lower layers become compacted by the weight of the layers on top. Over time, this pressure turns the sediments into rock.
As the continental plates move around the earth, crashing into each other, mountains are formed. Former sea floors are lifted up and become dry land. This is exactly what has happened to our trilobite. Now a fully formed fossil, our trilobite is buried under hundreds or even thousands of feet of rock!
Rain, wind, earthquakes, freeze and thaw all work toward erosion. The mountains that were built up are worn away over time.

Can a snail become a fossil?
Yes, snails can become fossils. When a snail dies, its shell may become buried in sediment and over time, minerals in the sediment can replace the original material of the shell, preserving it as a fossil. Fossilized snail shells can be found in many different types of rock formations.
Does and organism have to be buried to become a fossil?
No, an organism does not have to be buried to become a fossil. Fossils can form through a variety of processes, such as compression, mineral replacement, or petrification, which can occur even without burial.
Which fossil type could contain preserved parts of a organism?
It is called a mold fossil, which can become a cast fossil. After the soft parts of the animal rot away, a cavity remains (the mold fossil) which becomes filled with hardened sand or mud (the cast fossil).
When does a fossil become a fossil?
A fossil is formed when organic remains are slowly replaced by minerals, preserving the structure. The process can take thousands or millions of years. Once this transformation is complete, the organic material is considered a fossil.
