Like this golden question!
How is it possible for anything other than bone (bone marrow, skin, etc) to survive millions of years in a fossil?
Answer: it cant.
New question!
Why does science say that fossils that carry non bone bits in them are supposedly millions of years old fossils??
I think you have the wrong meaning of Fossil, fossil means any remains or impressions made/left by a living thing from a prehistoric era, So fossils don't just include bones, it's actually a very umbrella term.

My point was that soft tissue can't survive millions of years…..
Uh, I have a periodic table I can take a picture of if you need it Starlight, also I feel asleep after drawing digitally.
It's ok. I got things handeled.
besides My science project won't matter too much, I mean it will pull my grade down a lot but it won't kill my chances of passing..

Soft tissues can, if it's in the right environment. It's like canning something like peaches, except instead of being suspended in peach juice and sugar the soft tissues are embedded in things like thick mud and dirt. the soft tissues are isolated so there's nothing there to destroy them, that's why finding soft tissue's like skin from organisms that lived on the land are so rare, because the corpses of those dinosaurs would have been scavenged and eaten, unless the dinosaurs died being buried alive or by tar pits that tissue wouldn't have the right conditions to be preserved, just like when you can peaches you need the lid to be completely sealed and the product suspended in preservatives. This is why the tar pits are such gems, it has the perfect condition's Dinosaurs and Other Organisms are suspended in a sealed off space suspended in the tar, when the tar hardens they are enclosed in rock sealed off from anything that could erode the soft tissues.
If the Dinosaur already lived in this kind of environment, like say a dinosaur that lived on the deep ocean floor covered in mud and it died in the mud it has a better chance of those tissues surviving. In other words It's like canning, the tissue's are in the best conditions for preservation.
I'm not a professional so it's probably better to find some official research done by professionals.
Thanks! I learned something today!
Hey! I like that username better than your last one.
…..how do we make private chats???
Click on the person's name. It will take you to their profile and you can pm them.
Glad to be of assistance.
I wrote "banana" using a Caprisun straw on my banana at luch so I wouldn't mistake it for an apple and eat the peel.
I mean, I made this thread for people to be weird sooo…
