We spent 2 years in deep underground caves to bring this extraordinary kangaroo fossil to light

Finding and retrieving the bones of this extinct kangaroo relative – a ‘holy grail’ fossil – took hours of squeezing through narrow passages.

Incredible find!

I didn't see in the article an explanation of how the bones fossilized. It seems like a terrible spot for that to occur, but I don't really know much about the process. I assume the animal was buried in sediment at some point?
