List several ways in which fossils can be made?
Fossils can form by: Freezing Amber Asphalt Carbonization
What type of rock can form fossils?
a lot of rocks can sometimes can become a fossils. igneous rock
Do fossils relate to living organisms?
No. Fossils are chemicals like stone that have replaced organisms after they die.
How many different ways can fossils form?
When most people think of fossils they think of dinosaur skeletons and large bones, but there are many different types of fossils to be found. Palaeontologists, people who study fossils, divide them into two major types - body fossils and trace fossils. Body fossils show us what a plant or animal looked like. The first type, body fossils, are the fossilised remains of an animal or plant, like bones, shells and leaves. These can be mould and cast fossils, like most of the fossilised dinosaur skeletons and big bones we see, replacement fossils, like petrified wood, or whole body fossils - mammoths caught in ice, or insects trapped in amber. Petrified wood, frozen mammoths, and insects in amber are all body fossils. The second type of fossil records the activity of an animal. Known as trace fossils, these include footprints, trackways, and coprolites (fossil poo!). Footprints and coprolite are trace fossils - they show us how an animal lived.
What three hard structures do organisms that are more likely to become fossils have?
The most common fossils found are from bones, teeth and claws. Soft tissue such as skin, muscle and internal organs rarely become fossils because they generally decay far to quickly for the normal processes of fossilization.
List several ways in which fossils can be made?
Fossils can form by: Freezing Amber Asphalt Carbonization
How many ways can fossils formed?
freezing (refrigeration), drying (dessication), asphalt, amber, carbonization (distillation), permineralization
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.
How is carbonization used to to identify how old something is?
carbonization
How did fossils become traced?
they become trace fossils because they made the prints
Why do plants and animals do not become fossils?
why do you think many animals and plants did not become fossils
How did print become trace fossils?
they become trace fossils because they made the prints
How did the prints become the trace fossils?
they become trace fossils because they made the prints
Is the chemical reaction of carbonization with other substances called oxidation?
No, it's called carbonization (wheathering of limestone)
Why do most plants and animals do not become fossils?
why do you think many animals and plants did not become fossils
What animals don't become fossils?
Any internal organs. Only bones become fossils.
