What types of fossils does not form in sediments?
Well there are 3 types of fossils: Petrified Fossils, Molds and Cast, and Preserved Remains. Petrified Fossils are the organisms buried in the layers of sediment. Molds and Casts are the organisms, like shells, buried by sediments, in which they gradually dissolve. Preserved Remains are the organisms preserved in other substances. For example, entire organisms, such as huge elephant-like mammoths that lived thousands of years ago, have been preserved in ice. Therefore, Preserved Remains is a major type of fossil that does not form in sediments. This can be formed by decades of being stuck in the ice age and eventually falling through the ice and never getting out. Since you cant get out you get frozen! Being frozen and preserved in another type of substance in called... Preserved Remains! --Hope this could help. Thanks for reading.:)
Why can you not find fossils in other rocks?
Every rocks have formed in special environment some form by lava and some form in sea, raver and lakes so the rock which is formed inside water so they have fossils of specific environment and the rocks form by lava it was hot so there were no possibility to preserved living organism.
Organism that formed index fossils when?
Short spans of geologic time
What fossils formed when an organism dissolves and leaves an empty space in a rock are called?
Voids left behind by once present fossils are called 'trace fossils'.
Is a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves called?
When a hard part of an organism buried in sediment dissolves an leaves an empty space it is called a mold.

What are preserved remains?
Preserved remains are formed when the body of an organism is preserved and protected from decay through freezing, being trapped in tar, sap from a tree hardens around the body, or the body is put in a bog. (Like a peat bog.)

How are trace formed?
Trace fossils are formed when an organism leaves a trace; such as a footprint, a bite mark, or even poo.
Fossils formed when an organism dissolves and leaves an empty space in a rock are called?
Voids left behind by once present fossils are called 'trace fossils'.
What fossils formed when an organism dissolves and leaves an empty space in a rock are called?
Voids left behind by once present fossils are called 'trace fossils'.
How do fossils form through permineralization and carbonization?
Permineralized fossil are formed when dissolved minerals precipitate from a solution in the space occupied by the organism's remains.
Is a fossil formed when an organism buried in sediment dissolves called?
When a hard part of an organism buried in sediment dissolves an leaves an empty space it is called a mold.
What determines the type of fossil is formed?
the conditions under which the organism died and how it was buried
