What else can I help you with?
Can seashells be a sediment?
Yes, seashells can be considered a sediment. When seashells accumulate and compress over time, they can become cemented into sedimentary rock formations such as limestone. This process is part of the sedimentary rock cycle.
What type of rock is a fossil?
A fossil is evidence of an organisms existence, not a type of rock. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.
How was A rock that contains fossils seashells formed?
A rock that contains fossil seashells was formed through a process called sedimentary rock formation. Over time, seashells and other organic materials accumulated on the ocean floor, where they were buried by layers of sediment. As pressure increased and minerals precipitated from water, these sediments cemented together, preserving the fossilized remains of the seashells. This process can take thousands to millions of years, resulting in rocks such as limestone or shale that contain these fossils.
What fossil fuel is sometimes considered a type of organic sedimentary rock?
Coal is the fossil fuel sometimes considered a organic sedimentary rock.
How do sedimentary rock layers provide clues to a fossil age?
because fossils are in sedimentary rock
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of?
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of sedimentation.
Do sedimantry rocks have seashells?
Not necessarily. While nearly all fossils, including seashells, are found in sedimentary rock, most sedimentary rock does not contain fossils. Even then, those fossils will not necessarily be seashells. If you do find a rock with seashells, though, you can be pretty much guaranteed that it is sedimentary.
In which type of sendimentary rock will you find embedded seashells?
You are likely to find embedded seashells in limestone, which is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of coral, shells, and other organic material.
Can seashells be a sediment?
Yes, seashells can be considered a sediment. When seashells accumulate and compress over time, they can become cemented into sedimentary rock formations such as limestone. This process is part of the sedimentary rock cycle.
Is a sedimentary rock a fossil?
A fossil is any record of an organism preserved in rock, whether it be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Nearly all fossils are discovered in sedimentary rock.

Is igneous or sedimentary rock more likely to contain fossil?
sedimentary
If you found a rock with seashells in it would it be a sedimentary rock an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
It is definitely a sedimentary rock because you cannot find sea shells where metamorphic rocks are formed, nor can you find them in magma and lava. This is because metamorphic rocks are formed below the earths surface where the plates of the earth squash an existing rock even small to make it metamorphic, and igneous rocks are obviously formed in volcanoes where the heat and pressure would melt the fossil.
Why are fossils not found in other kinds of rock except sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is when a fossil is found inside it.
