Which organisms have the best chance of being preserved?

Organisms with hard parts like shells, bones, or exoskeletons have the best chance of being preserved as fossils. This is because these hard parts are more likely to withstand the processes of fossilization and degradation. Additionally, organisms that lived in environments conducive to fossilization, such as sediments or tar pits, also have a better chance of being preserved.


List three substances other that than sediments in which organisms can be preserved?

Amber: Organisms can become trapped and preserved in fossilized tree resin called amber. Ice: Organisms can be preserved in ice if they become frozen quickly, such as in glaciers or ice sheets. Tar: Certain organisms can be preserved in natural asphalt deposits, known as tar pits, where their remains are partially buried and protected from decomposition.


What is is the preserved remains or traces of an organisms that lived in the past?

fossil.


What types of fossils does not form in sediments?

Well there are 3 types of fossils: Petrified Fossils, Molds and Cast, and Preserved Remains. Petrified Fossils are the organisms buried in the layers of sediment. Molds and Casts are the organisms, like shells, buried by sediments, in which they gradually dissolve. Preserved Remains are the organisms preserved in other substances. For example, entire organisms, such as huge elephant-like mammoths that lived thousands of years ago, have been preserved in ice. Therefore, Preserved Remains is a major type of fossil that does not form in sediments. This can be formed by decades of being stuck in the ice age and eventually falling through the ice and never getting out. Since you cant get out you get frozen! Being frozen and preserved in another type of substance in called... Preserved Remains! --Hope this could help. Thanks for reading.:)

What are traces of ancient organisms have been preserved in rock?

Fossils are the main traces of ancient organisms preserved in rock. These can include bones, shells, footprints, and plant remains. Additionally, organic molecules such as DNA and proteins have been found in some well-preserved fossils.
