Conditions for fossilization are rare.
This statement is true because the process of fossilization requires specific conditions to occur. For an organism to become fossilized, it needs to be quickly buried in sediment or other materials that can protect it from decay and prevent it from being consumed by scavengers. Additionally, the organism needs to be in an environment where the necessary chemical reactions can take place to preserve its remains over time. These conditions are not common in the natural environment, making fossilization a rare occurrence for most individual organisms.
