well actually there is nothing left of the creature there, all the bones have been replaced by rock. Its more like a finger print, when you make a finger print you dont leave parts of your finger there just the image. in a fossil you are seeing the "image" of the creature bones.

Excellent analogy witht he fingerprint Dan. Yes, a fossil is more like a fingerprint than the finger itself as what we see in the left over parts. It is like when you make a claypot and are removing the clay, or in a way that makes sense to me it is the yin of the creatures body given form.
