Jelly fish don't have bones or teeth which are typically what fossilizes. Jellyfish are mostly water so they decompose extremely easily. Its like trying to fossilize soggy jello. They live in open oceans so its difficult for a jellyfish to become fossilized when there isn't a whole lot of soil around.
In order to have a fossil, you need a hard substance like bones. The jellyfish has no bones, and nothing in it is hard enough to be fossilized. When a jellyfish dies, it dissolves into nothing.

because they are VERY delicate.when they hit the sea floor they are more likely to break then survive.you have a 1 in 100,000 chance of finding one.
Because jellyfish don't really have any bones so the dirt can't really pick their figure or shape. Plus, erosion happens and will always be reshaping the earth.
Soft tissues rarely fossilize, and jellyfish and worms are entirely soft tissue.

No, theyre many celled. They are classified as animals.
Are fossil fuels carbon-based?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Yes.
Do fossil form in shale or halite?
Fossils could form in shale. Halite is table salt, a mineral with a crystalline structure that is not compatible with understood fossil formation methods.
What would be a good chance of leaving a fossil a jellyfish or a bony fish?
would a jellyfish make a good fossil
Would it be easier to find a fox or a moth or a jellyfish fossil?
I would think a Fox Fossil
Why jellyfish are not fossilized?
because they are maid out of water so they evaporate
What would most likely leave fossil remains a jellyfish a fox or a moth?
A clam is more likely to fossilize than a jellyfish.
What is the body form of a jellyfish?
Medusa body form. Medusa-Umbrella shaped, tentacles hanging down. Swim about.
What types of surfaces do jellyfish planulae attach to?
Rocky substrates where the polyp form of the jellyfish develop.
What is the definition of jellyfish?
Jellyfish or jellies are the major non-polyp form of individuals of the phylum Cnidaria.
What is a sessile form of a jellyfish called?
POLYP
What is the body form of a jellyfish called?
MedusaMedusa
What fossil does cranidios evolve form?
the skull fossil
Would you find a jellyfish fossil?
It is possible to find jellyfish fossils, but they are rare because jellyfish have soft bodies that are not easily preserved. In some cases, fossilized impressions of jellyfish have been discovered in certain types of sedimentary rocks that have preserved their soft tissue.
What is the plural form of the word fossil?
The plural of fossil is fossils.
