What is needed for a fossil to form? Select all that apply.

1. The organism must first get stuck in rock.

2. The soft tissue of the dead organism must be eaten by scavengers before the bones can be preserved.

3. The tracks or burrows of an organism must be filled with sediments before they are disturbed.

4. The organism's body must be covered by sediment or another substance before its body decays.

I like 4 the best. If an organism is covered by sediment before the body decays the sediment can harden around the decaying body and the imprint will be preserved in the hardened sediment.
