The likely hood of your ending up as a fossil is extremely rare. In 99.9999+% of cases your body will just decay. Of those .0001 percent that do fossilize only about .0001 percent of those will ever be found. Really the only reason we find any fossils at all is because the earth is so incredibly old.

Yes I'm sure we have existed millions of years ago, but what make you think we would find them like solid rock. We can fin them in other way. Like for example freeze, or maybe in a archaeological research or something like that.

Fossils only occur under special circumstances. Usually many layers of sand and silt have to fall relatively quickly on the corpses to begin the fossilization process and prevent oxygen and bacteria from getting in and decomposing it all.
If conditions were right, then there's no reason why humans wouldn't fossilize any better or worse than the average dinosaur.

No- the soft tissue remains fade away, whereas the hard bones remain.
