If you see an animal hit by a car on, or alongside, a road it will just decompose over time. Now if a road is rapidly flooded and there was an animal there, the chances will be increased of that animal being fossilized since it can rapidly bury that animal as well as cut off oxygen from reaching the corpse. Over time that sediment it's locked away in with replicate it by exchanging molecules with it so that you have a fossil.
