Most dead organisms are eaten or rot away quickly. If a fossil is to form, the body has to fall somewhere it is protected physically and chemically. It then has to be in a position where rocks form around it, and it has to remain fairly intact whilst its shape becomes preserved in stone. There are a lot of odds against the process.

How is fossil fuels man made?

A fossil is a relic of earlier times, that is found in the ground. By definition, it is not man made. People can make fuel, for example, we can grow corn, and then extract corn syrup, ferment it to make alcohol, and burn the alcohol. But that is not a fossil fuel. Petroleum, natural gas, and coal are the fossil fuels. We did not make them, they have been in the ground for a long time before we came along.
