    I’m not an expert by ANY means, but I think there needs to be strict conditions to make fossils. I think most bones just eventually turn to dust

      That’s true although I would also hypothesize that giant mollusks would likely fall into a biome that has these conditions.

      That said, I could see body of a slug not really getting fossilized. The shell probably would be, but maybe not depending on circumstances.
