water saves bones
Because as the river erodes the soil beneath it and on the banks, the fossils that lie buried there are exposed and wash into the river; then the suspended soil settles onto the fossils in the river bed and covers them again.

∙ 6y agoOceans aren't good places to look for fossils; the salt water can, over long ages, wear away the fossils. Some former ocean bottoms which are now dry land can be good fossil hunting, because as the silt settles over the dead plant or animal, it can seal in the material.
River beds are sometimes great places to look, because the running water can wear away the dirt that has buried the animal or plant.

Give an example of evidence from land features that suported Wegener's idea of continental drift?
Evidence from land features fossils and ancient climate zones or changes. Many continents are neatly lined up with each other for example Africa's coast lines up with south America's east coast and north American coal beds line up with European coal beds. Many fossils of animals are found on continents that are now separated neither animal could swim that far.The animals are called Mesosaurus and Mesosaurus.Plant fossils are found in Antarctica and are tropical plants which means Antarctica was near the equator at one time. Hope this helped!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the difference between reworked fossils and leaked fossils?
From the law of faunal succession,older beds are characterized by fossils of older age and the younger beds are characterized by younger age fossils.But in some exceptional condition the younger fossils are reported in the older formation and those are termed as leaked fossils. whereas,Fossils of older age occur in younger rock are known as reworked fossils.They are derived from the older rocks by reworking ad recycling of sediments.
