Answer:

Fossils typically discovered intact include bones, shells and teeth. One process that result in fossils remaining intact is called Amber. The organic matter, such as an insect, is surrounded by a natural tree resin that hardens around the object preserving it. Ice also preserves animals and plants.

Hope this helps!
