On the subject of fossils... You seem to be under the assumption that ALL skeletal forms become fossils. This simply isn't true.
Fossils are in fact, a rare occurance. Not rare to FIND, mind you, but rare to actually happen. Fossilization only happens under certain circumstances.
Out of the countless organisms that have lived on earth only to end up in soil, we've haven't even found a fraction of that amount in fossils.
