Fish are commonly represented within the fossil record. The fossilization of fish is common largely because Fish contain soft body parts and tend to be deposited in areas of high oxygen when they die. Fish contain hard body parts and tend to be represented in small population sizes. Fish contain hard body parts and tend to be deposited in areas of low oxygen when they die. O Fish live in water and do not require oxygen to survive, so they are readily fossilized.
