The remains of many prehistoric insects have been found preserved this way?
Prehistoric insects have been found preserved in amber, a hardened tree resin. The amber acts as a protective casing, trapping the insect inside and preserving it for millions of years. This allows scientists to study ancient insects and gain insights into prehistoric ecosystems.
Why plants fossils found in amber are not usually found in volcanics rocks?
Plants found in amber are typically preserved in resin from trees, which is a process that occurs in forests. Volcanic rocks are formed from magma and do not provide the same type of environment conducive to preserving plant material. Additionally, the high temperatures and pressures associated with volcanic activity would likely destroy any plant material before it could be preserved.
Why is it difficult to find fossilized plants and animals together in the same location?
Fossilized plants and animals are often found separately because they have different preservation conditions. Plants are usually preserved in sedimentary rocks, while animals are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks or amber. The chances of both being preserved together in the same location are low due to the specific conditions required for fossilization to occur.
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.)
What is preserved in ice or snow?
Ice and snow can preserve organic material such as animals, plants, and microbes by preventing decay and decomposition. This often includes well-preserved fossils or remains of ancient organisms. Additionally, ice cores can preserve climate information and atmospheric gases that provide valuable insight into Earth's history.
What animals are preserved in amber?
insects
Is it true that Insect fossils often consist of insects trapped in amber?
Fossilized insects preserved in amber are actually quite rare. Insects preserved in amber are most often found near river beds and wooded areas.
What are the original remains of small insects preserved in?
amber
Can you fossilise tree sap?
Amber is lithified tree sap. Small insects and animals can be preserved but not fossilised in amber.

Fossils may be found in amber?
Yes, fossils can be found preserved in amber. Amber is fossilized tree resin that can capture and preserve insects, small animals, and even plant materials. This provides valuable insights into ancient ecosystems and evolution.
Why would an animal or plant that is trapped in amber or tar pits or frozen preserve?
Freezing organisms can help preserve them because if it is frozen, then bacteria can't eat it. Scientists have also found animals that have been preserved through freezing. Insects can be preserved in amber because before it hardens, it is a sticky substance where the insects can get stuck in. So, insects found in amber are usually perfectly preserved. The unfortunate animals that were preserved in the tar was the cause of going to drink water. As that animal gets stuck, another would try to go and eat it which ends up with both animals getting preserved in the tar. (ha,ha)
Insects become fossils if they are trapped in tree sap that hardens to become?
amber
