To put the fossilization process in order, we need to understand the sequence of events that typically occur from the death of an organism to its eventual fossilization. Here’s the correct order: 1. **Organism dies** - This is the initial step where the organism ceases to live. 2. **Organism gets buried quickly** - After death, it is important for the organism to be buried quickly to protect it from decay and scavengers. 3. **Organism decays** - While buried, the soft tissues of the organism begin to decay, but the hard parts (like bones or shells) may remain. 4. **Sediment layers build up on top of organism** - Over time, more sediment accumulates on top of the remains, which helps in the preservation process. 5. **Organism gets exposed after a long period of time** - Eventually, geological processes may expose the fossilized remains, allowing them to be discovered. So the correct order is: 1. Organism dies 2. Organism gets buried quickly 3. Organism decays 4. Sediment layers build up on top of organism 5. Organism gets exposed after a long period of time
