They're mostly eyes, which don't fossilize well.

There are! It's just that they're buried in the heavens and historically speaking the sky is really hard to dig up.

Most of them are still alive. And if they die they don't leave bodies behind. The magical goo they are made out of get absorbed back to their creator.

No no no no no. We're looking for a pin.

It might be in a hay stack or a hay rick or a hay bale...

Has enough time passes since the uprising to allow them to become fossils?

Also, think about how there were millions of years of Dino's, yet there are so few skeletons.
