The soft-bodied nature of early animals and their small size are two characteristics that explain the scarcity of animal fossils older than the Cambrian Period. Soft-bodied organisms are less likely to fossilize than hard-bodied ones, and small organisms are harder to preserve in the fossil record.
A clam is more likely to fossilize than a jellyfish.
A fossil would most likely be found in sedimentary rocks
Animal behavior would be the least likely to be learned by studying animal fossils, as behavior is not typically preserved in the fossil record. Fossils generally provide information about the anatomy, physiology, and ecological relationships of ancient organisms rather than their specific behaviors.
The layer of rock containing the aquatic animal fossil was likely formed underwater millions of years ago before the mountain uplifted. Over time, tectonic forces pushed the rock layers upwards to form the mountain, including the layer with the aquatic animal fossil, which is now visible at or near sea level due to erosion.

There are many factors that make it more likely that an animal will be preserved as a fossil. One factor is living in a swampy area.
A geologist is studying layers of rock He finds a fossil with an imprint of a shelled animal According to the law of faunal and floral succession what kind of fossil would he most likely find next is a fossil of fishes.
In order to know which of these animal parts is most likely to be preserved as a fossil one needs to know the available choices for answers.
An index fossil is formed from the remains of an animal that evolved and lived for a precisely defined (and hopefully short) period of time, they are used to define and identify geologic periods. The best index fossils are wide spread (globally) and numerous (commonly found). They frequently (but not always) bottom dwelling or burrowing organisms with hard parts to their body structure because such organisms are most likely to regularly leave remains that can be fossilized.
the correct answer to that is something i do no know that is why i am on answers.com. but most likely fossil fuels because i looked in my science book.

see my sh!t first and you'll see
Yes, many types of insects and spiders have been found trapped in fossilized tree resin, (amber), including cockroaches.

Skull fossil is a fossil of Cranidos.
