Which fossil can preserve a whole animal?
Amber can sometimes preserve a whole animal. This would be called a mold fossil. Body freezing is another way in which an entire animal can be preserved. Scientists have found mammoths preserved in this manner.
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).
What generally happens to the remains of a plant or animal when it dies How does this help explain which parts of plants or animals usually form fossils?
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.
How do soft animal parts become fossilized?
Soft animal parts can become fossilized through a process called carbonization, where organic material is compressed and heated under sediment, leaving a carbon residue. This can preserve delicate structures like feathers or skin. Another way is through replacement, where minerals gradually replace the organic material, preserving the shape and detail of the soft tissue.
Fossils are formed in rocks when the blank body parts of an organism get buried in blank and are preserved when it turns to blank?
Fossils are formed in rocks when the hard body parts of an organism get buried in sediment and are preserved when it turns to rock.
Which of these animal parts is most likely to be preserved as afossil?
In order to know which of these animal parts is most likely to be preserved as a fossil one needs to know the available choices for answers.
What are the most likely parts of a animal to be preserved of a fossil?
when an organism dies, its soft parts often decay quickly or are eaten by animals. that is why only hard parts of an organism generally leave fossils. these hard parts include bones, shells, teeth, seeds, and woody stems.

What parts of plants are most often preserved as fossils?
They are leaves stems roots and seeds I checked its in my book(:

What parts of an animal that died millions of years ago are usually preserved as fossils?
dinosuars eggs,dinosaurs blood,dino"s poos
When a plant or animal dies the soft parts quickly do what?
When a plant/animal dies, the soft parts of the body swiftly become decayed, and decompose via organisms called decomposers. If they are near trees or other plants or fungi, they might become become absorbed for nutrients through the soil.
How was Saint Valentine's body preserved?
It wasn't preserved except for parts of the skeleton.
What is a kind of animal most likely to be preserved?
Well If you mean like preserved as in fossilized shell fish (clams and lobsters and such) have the highest fossilization record. The are more likely to be traped in sand, or mud at the bottom of the ocean. But this is just a quick guess
Which parts of animals are rarely preserved unburied because scavengers eat them and bacteria decompose them?
The muscles and ligaments of an animal will be subject to scavengers or decomposition. The organs and fat will be as well.
A resource such as air or parts of the ocean that is open to anyone is often preserved and protected by?
a. international organization is the right answer to this question! and stop cheating on the test!
