Question
scenarios that would most likely result in fossilization include
a snake that dies and is quickly covered in soft mud.
a boar that is trapped in a tar pit and sinks quickly.
a jellyfish that dies and slowly floats to the ocean floor.
humans who are quickly buried in volcanic ash.
a beetle that becomes trapped in tree sap.
Fossilization requires rapid burial to prevent decomposition. A snake covered in soft mud, a boar in a tar pit, humans in volcanic ash, and a beetle in tree sap are all rapidly buried. A jellyfish that slowly floats to the ocean floor has time to decompose before burial.
