More accurately they didn't all, ALWAYS wear adorable hats. It very well could be the norm, just not when treking through the tar pits... or just coincidentally the .00001% that actually fosilized in ways to give analysis of soft materials happened to have left their hats at home.

Adorable hats are most likely not conducive to allowing the wearer to be fossilized.

True... humans wear adorable hats all the time, yet I've never seen a report of a fossilized human found wearing an adorable hat.
