It is animals and plants which lived in or near water whose remains are most likely to be preserved, for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial, and it is only in the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes, where mud and silt have been continuously deposited, that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered and preserved.
I don't really understand what 'the like' refers to. Was there something resembling the bodies mentioned in the context that I didn't notice, or was it something else?
