Choose 1 organism below and propose a method of fossilization that most appropriately matches the process needed to preserve the organism. Be sure to include the name of the organism you chose, the fossilization method or type of fossil that would form, and describe the fossilization process for that particular method/type. Organism 1 - A bird's footprints Organism 2 - A section of a tree trunk Organism 3 - An entire bee Organism 4 - The shell of a nautilus (a present-day sea animal similar to an extinct ammonite) Organism 5 - An entire polar bear
