because a fossil is created from something that hardened while the animal was dead in it. if you leave a corps out in the open then most of it will be eaten, but if that same corps was covered in some oil or sap then it could potentially become a fossil after about a miilion yeaRS
What else can I help you with?
Would a squid leave a fossil?
Most likely not.
What fossils offer information on the activity and physiology of the creature that made them?
Probably a trace fossil; evidences of an organisms existence, without the body. Trace fossils include footprints, feces, burrow marks, and chemical signatures.
What does the term living fossil mean?
A living fossil generally refers to a living organism, animal or plant, whose species has been around long enough on the planet to be part of the fossil record. Most fossilized species are extinct, but there are a few which are either still in existence, or have descendents which closely resemble them.
Do most animals and plants that once lived on Earth have left fossil evidence?
No, most animals and plants that have lived on Earth do not leave fossil evidence. Fossilization is a rare process that only occurs under specific conditions, so many organisms decompose before they can become fossils. This is why the fossil record is incomplete and biased towards certain types of organisms.
Where Would You Most Likely Find A Fossil?
A fossil would most likely be found in sedimentary rocks
Would a squid leave a fossil?
Most likely not.

What is the source of the most of the carbon?
The most important source of carbon entering atmosphere is industries. Living things, burning fossil fuels and automobiles are other sources of carbon dioxide.
What is a fossil evidence of?
A fossil is evidence of a once living animal. A fossil is created when an animal dies in a mud or other soft dirt or sediment. Over time, the animal will decompose and leave the bones. Over time, these bones will get covered by dirt, rocks water, etc. After a couple thousand years the bones will get compressed into sediment, waiting to be discovered. Something similar to a fossil is and imprint. This is where an impression of a plant or animal is pushed into a soft sediment and hardens.
What fossil is most like an amber fossil?
Answer:If you mean in Pokemon, there is no other fossil like it, and it becomes an aerodactyl.
Which species concept could most easily be applied to fossils?
Fossil species cannot be defined with the genetic definition. But then that's also true of most of the species that biologists define among living organisms.
What sources of energy are most damaging to the environment?
Fossil fuels.
Where Would You Most Likely Find A Fossil?
A fossil would most likely be found in sedimentary rocks
What kind of animal part leaves the most distinct fossil?
Animal parts that are soft and don't have a skeleton leave the worst imprints. Fossils are made with animal parts that are hard and durable.
