When a plant or animal dies, its remains decompose, but sometimes they can become preserved in sedimentary rock or hardened resin, forming fossils. Hard parts like bones, shells, and teeth have a better chance of becoming fossilized compared to soft tissues, which decay more quickly. This is why fossils of hard parts are more commonly found in the fossil record.
