For the final step in this long process, you have to be approached by a brave paleontologist.

They could get uplifted into a mountain range and eroded away or carried along in an oceanic plate and subducted back into the Earth's mantle,melting your fossil into hot mush.Fingers crossed your rock surroundings will get gently lifted up by plate tectonics,sea levels will change,and you'll end up under dry land close to the surface,but not so close that erosion from wind and rain wipes you away before someone can come find you.The last step in this long process,an intrepid paleontologist has to come find you.
