Because they are resistant to decomposition, they are more likely to survive the ravages of time than their softer counterparts, which tend to decompose rapidly. When an organism with such hard parts dies, it can be quickly buried, setting the stage for the long, slow process of fossilization. Once buried, the hard parts of the organism transform.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/manny-the-mastodon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1463\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-1-e1776194276716.png"}
