I never fossilized anything so I can't say I know.

[/quote]It would probably take me at least a hundred years to
dig a hole big enough to bury a big dinosaur or a woolly
mammoth; and by that time, there wouldn't be much to bury.
Give me a backhoe and maybe I could do the burying part in a few
days. Then I guess I could dig it up every hundred years or
so to see if it had fossilized yet or not.

[/quote]After I got the thing buried in the hole it took me a
hundred years to dig, I think I could do it in ten or twenty
years or so if I had a good environment and the right materials
with the right kind of water replenishment. But to be on the
safe side, give me 10,000 years in case I make mistakes. It
might help if I could have a backhoe to dig a channel to make
sure the water supply was right.

We don’t know how long it took for fossilization of the
Stegosaurus skeleton to occur. Experimental work I have
conducted has shown that the process does not necessarily take
very long (Carpenter 2005). Under ideal situations, a dinosaur
could be fossilized in only a few years. The rate seems
dependent upon the supply of dissolved atoms and molecules in
the water available for bacterial use. This in turn is dependent
upon the replenishment rate of the water. The rate is faster for
bone buried in sand than for bone buried in mud, because ground
water can flow more freely around the sand grains than around
the clay particles.
Maybe we should have a competition to see who can fossilize a
[s]dinosaur[/s] a skeleton the fastest.

without you there to protect it and bury it, how long would it
take to bury itself or more exactly get itself buried - twinc

[/quote]That would probably have to happen fairly quickly. Most
bones don't become fossils since they decay first. That's my
understanding of it.
