This is extremely unlikely, as the processes which break down rocks to produce soil would destroy the fossil (which is also rock).

What is something that paleontologist often find in sedimentary rocks?
they study first the soil composition of the ground check for valuable minerals and geographic chemicals which will be analyzed if the soil has a huge possibility to have an bones and fossils. this process may be skipped if a local community did find some bones there. the next step would be carefully digging the bones in there.
How do scientists find the absolute age of fossils and rock correlations?
Well if it was deep in the ground it was probably old.
What type of geographic formation were many of the artifacts and fossils found?
Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock. This is because sediments (soil, sand, etc) pile on top of bones and then solidify into rock, over time, preserving fossils. Because these generally remain buried very deep, it does make it easier to find fossils in areas where the ground has been pushed upward by the formation of mountain ranges. Thus, sedimentary rock is nearly always the material fossils are found in, and mountains make it a little easier to find fossils.
What rock type in which you might find fossils?
sedimentary rocks are what fossils are found in
How fossils are layered?
We Find fossils Inside the Mud or soils deep end... The more deep ... The more you get fossils The more Near.. The less chances or formation of Fossils..
What would you expect to find in soil?
in the soil you can find many insects, minerals and even water. do you know that if we dig anywhere, we will get fossils of animals and plants

Why wouldn't you find fossils on the moon?
Because theirs no life on the moon so no things could dissolve into the soil which there is none on the moon for the things to metamorphosis into fossils
Objects made from soil?
fossils
Where are the oldest fossils formed in?
The 4th layer of soil >.<
How do scientists find the absolute age of fossils and rock correlations?
Well if it was deep in the ground it was probably old.
What are forming fossils?
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rocks, which has multiple layers to show the level of soil back then.
What layer of soil was dinosaur bones found in?
Fossils are not found in the soil. They are found in layers of rock after time.
Did somebody find any fossils?
Yes somebody did find fossils

How was material that was once living in the soil is called?
Do you mean; what is the material.... fossils.
What is the simplest dating method used by paleontologists?
Relative Dating, its where the paleontologists date the fossils according to the layer of soil that the fossil was found compared to other fossils that were carbon dated that were in the same soil layer.
