Things tend to decompose in a warm and moist environment. Mummification/fossilization typically happens in either very cold climates, very dry climates, or both. Since the rain forest is both warm and damp, decomposition typically happens very quickly.
Fossil organisms succeed one another in a definite and determinable order, and therefore any time period can be recognized by its fossil content. -organisms evolve, and organisms become extinct. Proposed by William Smith late 1700's and early 1800's

Well its most likely everything will become fossil fuel from a human carcass,dog,cow and bugs.
Of the three organisms it is the snails that has the least chance of becoming a fossil since it has no skeleton.
Less than 1% of all organisms that die become fossilized.
The fossil record shows that different species have evolved over time. The fossil record also provides evidence of how a specific organism evolved from earlier species. The fossil record shows that organisms have become more complex over time. It also shows which organisms lived during the same time period, which have a common ancestor, and which have become extinct.

Fossil Fuels =)
Ancient organisms became fossil fuels through a process called diagenesis, where organic matter from dead plant and animal remains is buried and subjected to high pressure and temperature over millions of years. This transforms the organic material into hydrocarbons, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are the substances we extract and use as fossil fuels.
First of all the animal that the fossil is from was going to a different location and died there, so it would still be there. Also the desert 50 million years ago could have been a forest where many different organisms live.
Harder parts of organisms become fossils. For example vasculature in plants and bones of animals are best preserves in the fossils.
Fossils are proof of organisms that lived long ago
