What else can I help you with?
How are the original remains of shells bones and teeth of animals and fish formed into fossils?
Mineralization occurs in the original remains, inside the shells bones and teeth, of animals and fish. This process turns remains into fossils.
Why do fossils only show the bones and teeth of the dead animal?
Because soft tissues, organs, skin and muscle doesn't turn into fossils.
What are body fossils made out of?
Body fossils are made out of remains of plants and animals that have been preserved in rock or sediment. The original material of the organism is often replaced by minerals, creating a cast or replica of the organism's original structure. Hard parts of the organism, such as bones, shells, or teeth, are commonly preserved as body fossils.
Are there more teeth fossils than skin fossils?
yes there are more teeth fossils than skin fossils
Why did sabor toothed tigers have black teeth?
Saber toothed cats did not have black teeth. Many saber toothed cat fossils come from the La Brea Tar Pits, where the teeth and bones were preserved. The asphalt that preserved the bones, though, also stained them.
Are fossils real?
Yes, fossils are real. Fossils are the preserved remains or impressions of plants, animals, and other organisms that lived in the distant past. They provide valuable information about Earth's history and the evolution of life.
Compare and contrast original remains with other kinds of fossils what kinds of information would only be available for the origninal remains. are there any limitations to the use of origanial remain?
Original remains are the actual body parts of an organism, such as bones or teeth, while other fossils are impressions or molds of the organism. Original remains can provide information about soft tissues, behavior, and physiology that other fossils cannot. However, original remains are rare and may be subject to decay or damage, limiting their availability for study. Additionally, original remains may not always be well-preserved or complete, which can limit the amount of information that can be obtained from them.
Explain the difference between trace and body fossils?
Trace fossils refer to evidence of ancient life that is not the actual remains of an organism, such as footprints, burrows, and coprolites (fossilized feces). Body fossils, on the other hand, are the actual remains of an organism, such as bones, teeth, and shells. Both types of fossils can provide important information about ancient life and the environments in which they lived.
What is in teeth and bones?
calcium are your bones and teeth
Why are teeth not bones?
No, teeth aren't bones.
Are fossils found in tar pits actual bones?
Yes, fossils found in tar pits can be actual bones of prehistoric animals. The tar pits preserve organic material such as bones, teeth, and plant remains by trapping them in the sticky tar, where they can become fossilized over time. These fossils provide valuable information about past ecosystems and the creatures that inhabited them.
Are fossils examples of organic matter and why?
Yes, fossils are examples of organic matter because they are the preserved remains or traces of once-living organisms. Fossils can include bones, shells, teeth, and other organic materials that have undergone a process of mineralization or replacement with inorganic materials to become stone-like structures.
