These are called "replacement fossils" also "petrification"
Soft tissues such as skin, fur, feathers, and organs are less likely to become fossils compared to hard parts like bones, teeth, shells, and exoskeletons. Rapid burial in sediment or other materials can better preserve soft parts, but this is less common than the preservation of hard parts.
Organisms that have hard parts such as bones, shells, or teeth are more likely to form fossils. Soft-bodied organisms can also be preserved in certain conditions, such as being quickly buried in sediment or trapped in amber.
When a plant or animal dies, its remains decompose, but sometimes they can become preserved in sedimentary rock or hardened resin, forming fossils. Hard parts like bones, shells, and teeth have a better chance of becoming fossilized compared to soft tissues, which decay more quickly. This is why fossils of hard parts are more commonly found in the fossil record.
Animal parts that are soft and don't have a skeleton leave the worst imprints. Fossils are made with animal parts that are hard and durable.
No, the soft parts of organisms are not most likely to become fossils. Fossilization primarily favors hard parts like bones, shells, and teeth, as they are more durable and resistant to decay. Soft tissues decompose quickly and are less likely to be preserved unless specific conditions, such as rapid burial in anoxic environments, occur. Consequently, soft-bodied organisms are rarely found in the fossil record.
Ones with hard bony parts, soft tissues do not from fossils.

Imprint
Fossils can only form when the remains of a plant or animal are buried in sediment quickly after death. The organic tissues are gradually replaced by minerals from the surrounding environment, creating a fossilized replica of the original organism. The process of fossilization usually requires specific conditions such as lack of oxygen, minimal disturbance, and the presence of water and minerals.
No. The hard bones are more likely to form a fossil. The soft parts will degenerate over time. This is why most of the fossils from the Pre-Cambrian and Cambrian periods are mostly shells, not the actual animals that inhabited them.
The difference is in the name; soft corals are soft have body ; with no bony or hard Parts
noFossils can form when the remains of an organism decay. ... When a dead organismis buried, it often decayscompletely, leaving only an impression in the rock in a formof a hollow mold. The hard parts are most likely to leave an impression, although sometimes so can soft parts.
