I wanna be a fossil

I've been contemplating what I want done with my body when I die. I've decided, ignoring cost, I would like to become a fossil. I mean, how cool would it be to be dug up ten million years from now and end up in a museum. I wouldn't be around to see it, but it would still be amazing.If I were to try to become a fossil, what would be the best way of going about it? Where should I be buried? At sea? In a lake?I'm sure there are a lot of factors that I wouldn't have the slightest clue about.

I would think a volcano would help if it were the kind that expels ash, not lava. Something like Mt. Saint Helen's as opposed to Hawaii. It's a good suggestion, but volcano eruptions are just to hard to predict. I don't think I could count on a suitable eruption happening near the time of my death.

I don't know that I'm a fan of using a tube. That seems more like preservation than fossilization. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I would want to rely more on natural processes. Although, I'm not against using some sort of preparation to help nature along.Maily I was only expecting fossilization of my skeleton (i.e. ossification), and I realize that even the chances of that are slim, but what's my alternative? Basically rotting, like I would anyway. Nothing to lose.This message has been edited by pesto, 04-27-2006 01:23 PM

Assimilate me!!!

I don't know. It depends on what effect solar radiation would have on a dead body. Also, I'd have to worry about my orbit decaying.

I'm not worried about decay, I'm worried about burning up in the atmosphere.
