Most living things do not leave fossils behind because we decompose before we are covered by sediments. Fossils are formed when plant or an animal dies and is buried in mud. So this does not tend to happen as often.

They decompose before they are covered by sediments and predators might eat them. ... Fossils are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. You just studied 10 terms
