Why geologists don’t recognize cellular fossils
Although geologists believe rocks go through recycling and minerals can assume the forms of their environment (pseudomorphic replacement, ref. 1), they don’t study the morphology of animal cells. So, they don’t recognize cellular fossils in magma, lava or igneous rocks. Examples: Mammalian red blood cell fossils found in “Moon Rock”:

Neuron fossils are often misinterpreted as pyrites as shown in the following references.
