The body of a jellyfish can be excluded due to the absence of fossil records. Jellyfish lack hard parts that are typically preserved as fossils, making it difficult for them to leave behind fossil evidence. In contrast, the shells of crabs and snails, as well as a dinosaur's backbone, are composed of harder materials that are more likely to be fossilized.
