Question

Answer 1

i think its invertebrate buried in sand...

because sediment will pile on the invertebrate, yada yada yada...

over time the invertebrate will become a fossil.

Answer 2

Answer:

in my opinion the answer would be  A vertebrate buried in mud

Explanation:

my reason would be simple

first -- A vertebrate that has been buried in mud has relatively high chances of being fossilized and preserved

there are two reasons to this

the first reason is that the vertebrates have bone structure, and the bones are very hard to dispose, especially if the conditions are right. And even if they do dispose after some time, they will live a print behind them

The second reason is the mud. The mud will cover all of the vertebrate. Slow down the decomposition, and when the decomposition is over, the bones will be in a place that can protect them from the outside influences, thus preserving them for a very long period of time

sorry for a little late response

but i hope this helps :p
