Question

rapidly eaten by scavengers

Organisms with hard parts stand a good chance of being fossilized if they are rapidly buried by sediments. Rapid burial helps protect the remains from scavengers and environmental factors that can lead to decomposition, increasing the likelihood of fossilization.
