What is the function of the shell membrane?
The shell membrane is a thin tissue structure upon which the mineralized shell is built.
This is the mineralized remains of plants or animals?
It is called replacement .
What do you call a mineralized trace of a living organism preserved in rock?
A trace fossil can be anything from a coprolite (faeces) to a footprint. It is anything which proves the creature's existence without being the actual creature itself. For example, an ammonite shell is proof of its individual existence, but its faeces give us little information about its appearance. A fossil could be a cast, mold, or true form fossil.
What does carbon dating have to do with the fossil record?
Nothing. Something must contain carbon to be carbon dated. By definition fossils are mineralized and contain no carbon.
This fossil shell has symmetrical valves?
brachiopod
Are Most dinosaur fossils are completely petrified?
All of them, in fact. There are no bits of flesh still present in a millions-of-years-old fossil; it's all mineralized.
If in the Grand Canyon walls if a fossil imprint of a leaf is lower than a shell fossil does that mean that the leaf fossil is older than the shell fossil?
The strata or rock layers of the grand canyon walls are undisturbed. As such, a layer of rock containing a fossil, that is below an overlying rock layer will be older.
What environment would the shell of an organism most likely be preserved as a fossil?
A hard shell organism have more of a chance to become a fossil .
What type of organism is the most fossil evidence available?
Organisms with hard parts such as a mineralized shell, like a trilobite or ammonite, are much more likely to become fossilized than animals with only soft parts.
What does carracosta evolve from?
cover fossil (or japanese translation shell fossil) then tirtouga (level 37) carracosta.
What type of fossil is an ancient animals home?
When an ancient animal for example Tortoise or snail die in its shell....years later another tortoise or snail can fit itself in the fossil shell.
What are the conditions that favor fossil formation?
The plant or animal must be encased in a substance that prevents destruction or erosion. Ice, tar, or layers of mud or clay can isolate the remains from sunlight, air, and consumption by other lifeforms. Over time, a mineralized form or a rock cast will result in a fossil or fossil imprint.
