Which would have a better chance of becoming a fossil: a fish that dies and settles to the ocean floor or a mouse that dies on the ground in a forest?

The mouse; because the fish might decompose much faster, because it would be in water

I would say that a fish that died on the ocean floor would become a better fossil, because archaeologists nowadays have discovered many fossil that were preserved quite well in ancient oceans. The fish. Fossils must be quickly buried in an environment free of oxygen where nothing will disturb them. I.e, the ocean floor. The mouse will be open to the elements for ages before plant matter begins to cover it so will have less of a chance.

Hope this help can i get a brainliest please if this helped

not: both offer magnification to the atomic level.
