fossils, at least the good type of fossils are actually bone that have deposited in a layer of sediment (this is essential) in an ancient sea bed. as the bone decays it is replaced atom for atom by certain minerals in the sediment, basically making a perfect stone replica, there is no dna there, it is simply an exact stone replica of the bone. you are right, the conditions for a perfect fossil to be made are rare, especially because the fossils can only be found if they are somehow uplifted by tectonic plate movement and placed where people can find them. this is why Olduvai gorge is so rich in fossils, because its where there are colliding tectonic plates which uplift the fossils and there used to be water there thousands of years ago.
