Question

which correctly lists three materials that preserve soft tissues in fossils?
amber, minerals, and sediment
minerals, permafrost, and amber
permafrost, amber, and tar
sediment, minerals, and tar

Explanation:

Amber traps organisms quickly, preventing decay and preserving soft tissues. Permafrost's cold temperatures slow or stop decomposition, preserving soft tissues. Tar pits entomb organisms, blocking oxygen and halting decay of soft tissues. Minerals and sediment typically preserve hard structures (like bones) rather than soft tissues.

Answer:

permafrost, amber, and tar
