Limestone is a term for rock made primarily from Calcium Carbonate. When marine animals and plants die, their bodies disintegrate and rest on the floor of waterbeds. Their bodies break down into Calcium Carbonate gradually and limestone is created as a result of this break down of organic matter.
no. limestone wouldn't "harden" around the lipids in a decaying animal ther for woundnt be there. limestone, if it did, would crush it so hard you wouldn't e able to see a fossil in it and it would become greasy from the lipids that are relaxed in the animals cells. (fat)
Yes! In short, it is because marine organisms make their home out of calcite which eventually forms into limestone and when the organisms die, some fragments of the fossil stay in the limestone!
So yes :)
Some Limestone is entirely composed of fossil evidence, though what is visibly seen as a 'fossil' (e.g. a shell fragment etc.) also occur, but nonetheless, some limestones are composed entirely of ancient hard parts (shells etc.). Chalk is composed entirely of Coccoliths, which are microscopic shells. Oolitic limestone, however, is not a fossil rock, but does often contain fossils.
Coal is a fossil rock as it is composed entirely of ancient plant material.
Yes, shells, skeletons, of mostly tiny creatures and corals could be probably found in some of its layers.
Yes you will find fossils in sedimentary rock.
Nope :)
You would never expect to find na2cl as a stable compound because it is not electrically neutral.
You would expect to find nitrogen and oxygen as molecules in the atmosphere, and argon as individual atoms.
No, lithium is very reactive metal and you would expect it find it as one of the ions ion present in minerals.
I don’t know
It would have 4 protons.
sedimentary rocks are what fossils are found in
Sedimentary rock layers.
limestone, i took that test just yesterday
limestone
the rocks in carlsbad is limestone
No,because fossils are just the bone parts.(fossils have been there along time)
Most likely, fossils are found in shale, limestone, sandstone, coal, and chert.
It would be found in the lower layers, rather that younger fossils which are found in the upper layers. ♥
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
The most likely place would be at a limestone or dolostone rock quarry. However, fossils can be found in an abundance of places. Fossils are common in landscaping gravels, or anywhere mixed rocks are found.
Limestone mostly, sometimes in shale and coal.
Because they did not exsist at the same time.
