it is very tough but as I have an IQ OF 9999999..... I can answer this

Freezing - Some fossils are preserved in ice. ... Mummification - In really dry areas a fossil may be formed through mummification. This is when the dead organism quickly dries out. Because there is little moisture, the remains of the organism can be preserved for a long time leaving a fossil.

Answer:

Mummification and fossilization are both types of preservation of organic matter. Mummification is the process of preserving the tissues and organs of the dead organism or human corpse by various chemical and thermal processes. Fossilization is a process where dead organisms are preserved over rocks. In fossilization, only the hard body parts like the bones, teeth are preserved. The organic matter of the dead animal is replaced by inorganic matter over the years and gets settled over rocks. Mummies can later become fossils. Both mummification and fossilization apply freezing temperatures to preserve the dead organic tissues. They also employ the method of removal of moisture from the dead organism to dry them and to preserve for a longer period and does not allow microorganisms to infect.
