Three Reasons:

1) The organism lived/lives for a large period of time (species was/is in existence for a long time)

2) The organism lived/lives over a vast geographical range (species lived/lives in more than just a few specific areas)

3) The organism has/had hard parts (ex: bones)

What animals can be fossilised?

Many animals can be fossilized, including those with hard parts like bones, teeth, and shells, which are more likely to survive the fossilization process. Common examples include dinosaurs, fish, and mollusks. Soft-bodied animals can also be fossilized under certain conditions, such as in amber or through exceptional preservation in anoxic environments. Overall, the potential for fossilization depends on the organism's structure and the environmental conditions at the time of its death.


In what do original structures of an organism remain?

permineralized fossilanswer 2 Fossilized wood often contains sufficient detail to name the species.Fossil pollen degrades very little, and is a branch of Geology, called Palynology.Insects in amber are very well preserved. (Jurassic Park excepted!)


Only bones can be fossilized can soft tissue?

Soft tissues can also fossilize under certain conditions. In rare cases, soft tissues like skin, feathers, or organs can be preserved in fossils. This typically occurs when the organism is buried rapidly in a low-oxygen environment that slows down the decomposition process.


True or false Only bones can be fossilized soft tissue cannot?

False. Soft tissues can also be fossilized under certain conditions, although it is much more rare compared to the fossilization of bones. Soft tissue preservation can occur in exceptional cases, such as in the fossilized remains of animals found in frozen environments like the ice age.


What is the plural of you?

The pronoun 'you' is both singular and plural.Examples:Jim, you are a good friend. (singular)All of you are invited to the picnic. (plural)Additional information:You is actually the old plural form. The old singular - thou - has become obsolete, used only in prayer and certain fossilized expressions. The form ye is used for a plural you, but again only in fossilized expressions such as Ye Gods or Ye of little faith.


Can a worm be fossilized?

Yes, a worm can be fossilized, but it is extremely rare, because it has no skeleton to be mineralized over time. So the only way you could find a fosssil of a worm is in a sandstone, because there it could have chances to be preserved.

What does transitional organism mean?

A transitional organism is an organism that exhibits traits of two different evolutionary stages, showing the evolutionary link between two related species. These organisms can provide valuable insights into how certain traits or features evolved over time. Examples include Archaeopteryx, a transitional species between reptiles and birds, and Tiktaalik, a transitional species between fish and tetrapods.
