It was custom for dinosaurs to fossilize their dead
450 million years ago the majority of life in the oceans had soft bodies that did not fossilize very well. Their fossilized remains often appear as blurry stains upon a rock, but now and then a specimen is found with a well preserved body part, like this strange marrelomorph.

Fun fact:
Cloth doesn’t fossilize. Dinosaurs could have all worn little hats. You can’t prove they didn’t.

Wait, really? I assume because they break down the plant matter before it can properly fossilize?

Any chance I could fossilize right now?

Nothing in common with anyone who wants an encore at a gig. Let me go home. I have rocked, now I wish to fossilize.

This fossil is an example of what is called a "mortality plate" as it contains the remains of several animals that all died around the same time. Trilobites were some of the first animals to evolve an exoskeleton, and as a result fossilize very well compared to other Cambrian creatures.

Under certain conditions the feathers could actually fossilize with the skeleton, and also a piece of amber was discovered with a preserved dinosaur tail with feathers.

Anyone want to get sucked into a tar pit with me where our bones eventually intertwine and fossilize to be admired millions of years later by beings we could scarcely understand?

Fun Fact: Trilobites evolved eyes made out of hard calcite minerals. These little crystal eyes fossilize beautifully!

THERAPIST: So, what brings you in today?
ME: We’ll never know what dinosaurs actually looked like because soft tissue doesn’t fossilize except for rare instances. T. rex could have had a giant comb and wattle like a chicken.
THERAPIST: Oh fuck, he’d look ridiculous.
ME: *starts crying*

Good thing it's not just bones that can fossilize. This is a 17 million year old leaf I found in Oregon last year.
