Sedimentary rocks are rocks made from the build up of layers of sediment (Small gravelly particles) over time, usually at the bottom of a body of water. Fossils that have fallen onto these deposits may eventually be covered up by more sediment and can then be found inside of the sedimentary rock.
What else can I help you with?
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Which type of rock is where fossils are found?
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
What are the remains of once-living orgainismsfound in sedimentary rocks?
All fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Some sedimentary rocks are made of nothing but fossils such as chalk. A creature ( microscopic or larger) skeleton is deposited after death usually on the ocean floor. Sediments cover it, and over time turns into a fossil.
Where do you get fossils?
In sedimentary rocks.
In what type of rocks could you find fossils?
Fossils are principally found in sedimentary rocks and also in some metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
What kind of rocks yield fossils?
Most fossils are preserved in sedimentary rocks.
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
Why are fossils most likely to be found in sedimentary rock samples?
Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock, because igneous and metamorphic rock undergo great heat and pressure when forming, where as sedimentary rocks undergo much less pressure and heat to form, better preserving the fossil
Why is it rare to fine fossils in metamorphic rocks?
Fossils abound in sedimentary rock, you are in fact very likely to find them there.
Why are must fossils in sedimentary rocks?
NO
