Many people think fossils take a long time to form. But they don’t! All this week we’re looking at examples of fossils that clearly formed quickly.

Yesterday we saw a squid-like creature buried with its dinner. Today we’re looking at another type of creature—one with a soft body—that we find buried in rock layers: jellyfish!

Jellyfish are entirely made of soft parts. Now, if one washes up on a beach, it disappears within just a few hours. And yet we find fossil jellyfish. Well, how?
