Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most logical conclusion is that conditions were not right to fossilize soft-bodied organisms. Soft-bodied organisms are less likely to fossilize due to their lack of hard structures. This could indicate that the environment where the fossil deposit was found was not conducive to the preservation of soft-bodied organisms. The absence of soft-bodied species does not necessarily mean that they did not exist in this time and location.
