Characteristics and Examples of Fossil Formation. The way in which organisms are preserved gives fossils different characteristics. Let's explore a few ways fossils can form. Permineralization is when an organism dies and sediment enters the body, filling in the pores of a leaf, or a bone or a shell.he remains of a Hadrosaur are an examples of a body fossil, or fossils of the actual organism. Typically, hard structures like bones, shells and teeth fossilize more often than soft-bodied structures like tissues or plant leaves, but as is seen with the horsetail relative, plants can become fossils.
