Question

task 3: fossils
which parts of organisms are most likely to be preserved (kept safe and intact) as fossils?
soft parts like skin and muscles
hard parts like bones, teeth, and shells

Explanation:

Fossils are formed when organisms are buried quickly under sediment. Soft parts like skin and muscles decay more easily. Hard parts like bones, teeth, and shells are more durable and resistant to decay. They can withstand the pressure and chemical processes during fossilization better than soft tissues.

Answer:

hard parts like bones, teeth, and shells
