I can answer number 1!

So the reason that organisms turn into fossils in the first place is when they get stuck in sap, mud, or some other substance that preserved their bones, their structure, or in come cases their whole body. If an organism completely decays, or if it is like a leaf and decomposes, then it will not become a fossil.

I hope this helps!
