Answer

Brief Explanations:

Fossils of preserved remains can have hard and soft - tissues intact. In the described fossil, the organism decomposed leaving an imprint filled with sediment. So, only hard tissue (if any) might be part of the imprint - filled fossil, while preserved remains fossils can have more of the original organism intact.

Answer:

Only hard tissue is preserved.
