any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants. The totality of fossils is known as the fossil record.

The way a fossil forms depends on a few things. The most important step is that the remains or traces of life must be buried, the quicker the better. The longer they remain exposed the more likely it is that they will be destroyed by scavengers or by the environment itself.

Imagine a desert versus the bottom of a deep sea… wind blasted sand dunes and hungry scavengers versus still, murky waters where gloopy mud is laid down steadily… where do you think fossils are more likely to form?

Apart from burial the other key points are…

Hard parts best. Got hard parts? Bones or shells? Then you are more likely to become a fossil because soft bits rot away quickly.
Where do you live? If there is sediment like mud or sand being laid down then you have a chance to be buried by it and fossilised.
The recipe for success. Once buried there is a chance minerals can start to fill gaps in your remains or even replace them, basically turning them into stone. This is when fossilisation really happens and depends a great deal on what natural minerals are in the sediment.
And finally… with luck the rock layer you are preserved in will be eroded and your fossilised remains

its not the actual bones that remain..

Even if it isn’t the actual bones I’m sure they have ways to differentiate between mammals, reptiles and birds
