Which materials preserve soft tissues in fossils?
Answers
Answer:
Soft tissue is preserved in organic materials.
Though they do not survive in fossils it happens in them from time to time.
They can happen in the mineralized tissue, traces, impressions, and residues, or sometimes they form in organic tissues.
There are many publications about the formation of soft tissues.
Answer:
Soft tissues in the fossils are preserved by their conversion into organic matter. The fossils have to withstand the various forces of nature, like temperature extremes, tremendous pressure, that often lead to the decay and decomposition of the soft tissues, only they are replaced by certain organic matter, or their imprints, or traces remain in the soft soil, which get petrified undergoing various changes over thousands and thousands of years.
