Answer 1

The organisms may get trapped in resins of tree, lava of volcanoes or hot mud, which when hardens retains the animal's parts thus forming fossils. but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.
