Which of the following is true of the process of fossilization? Group of answer choices A tropical forest with plentiful scavenging animals provides the best environment for fossilization. All organisms will undergo fossilization after death. Teeth disintegrate rapidly and are thus uncommonly found as fossils. Climatic conditions can determine whether an organism fossilizes or not.
