      Super question!

      If you read my bio then you’ll see that most fossils are hard stuff like bones and these tell us a lot about what life used to be like.

      But most boney fossil are super rare. So think how really really really rare squishy fossils are. The conditions to make a fossil like this are SO rare that the chance of your skin becoming a fossil is the same as you winning the lottery every week for the rest of your life.

      These fossils tell us even more about how life evolved and can tell us cool things like what was the very last thing these worms ate? Make a comment below if you have more questions 😀
