Yes, I do still browse reddit, mainly for hockey and some niche subs that aren’t here yet. Once in a while I dip my toes into r/all to see the garbage that floats to the top and this one popped up today.

If there’s a better way to share a reddit post without giving them clicks let me know and I’ll edit my link. I know I’ve seen it before but I don’t remember what it was.
Yup. It’s not that soft tissue DOESN’T fossilize, it’s just that the conditions to do so are much rarer, and soft tissue is obviously much more susceptible to degradation before fossilization.
