What sedimentary rock is most likely to have a fossil?
Coquina is the sedimentary rock most likely to contain visible fossils.
What kind of rock would most likely have a fossil in it?
sedimentary
Where Would You Most Likely Find A Fossil?
A fossil would most likely be found in sedimentary rocks
Which rock is mostly likely a sedimentary rock?
One showing an igneous nature.
What type of rock is most likely to hold a fossil?
A fossil will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock because sedimentary rocks are made out of organic fragments such as rocks, shells, leaves, fossils, pebbles, and so on. A metamorphic rock would not hold a fossil because a metamorphic rock forms under great heat and pressure, and fossils would be destroyed under such conditions. An igneous rock would not hold a fossil because they form through the hardening of molten rock and fossils would be burned up and cremated in lava. Thus, fossils will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock.
What sedimentary rock is most likely to have a fossil?
Coquina is the sedimentary rock most likely to contain visible fossils.
Which object will MOST likely contain a fossil?
rock.A2. A fine-grained sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock are you most likely to find a fossil?
sedimentary because it is the ONLY rock that can contain fossils.
What types of stones are most likely to contain fossils?
There are three basic types of rock; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed by volcanic action and don't contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks are formed, usually under water, by eroded material accumulating. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary rocks are changed by heating and/or pressure. From this, you can see that sedimentary rocks are the most likely to contain fossils, although metamorphic rocks also can contain fossils. Any sedimentary rock can contain fossils, but some make fossil hunting easier. Shales and mudstones are particularly good; chalk is pretty much entirely made of fossils - it's formed of skeletons of small organisms, but its difficult to see the individual fossils.
What kind of rock do fossils form?
Sedimentary rock, its rarely found in metamorphic and never found in igneous rock because it would make the fossil of the animal worped and changed. It wouldn't be with the original form on metamorphic and igneous would destroy the whole fossil.
What rock types would most likely contain fossil?
Sedimentary rock is the only type of rock that will contain fossils, but there are several types of sedimentary rock.Examples:Clastic Sedimentary Rocks (particles of silt and/or sand that cement together): Conglomerate, Breccia, Sandstone, Siltstone, Shale.Examples:Chemical Sedimentary Rocks (forms when mineral constituents become supersaturated and inorganically precipitate):Evaporates:Halite, GypsumCarbonates:Limestone, Fossiliferous LimestoneSiliceous Rocks: ChertOrganic Sedimentary Rocks: Coal.The rocks listed in BOLD will likely be found with fossils.
What kind of rock would most likely have a fossil in it?
sedimentary
What type of rock is most likely not found in a fossil?
Igneous.
Where Would You Most Likely Find A Fossil?
A fossil would most likely be found in sedimentary rocks
What kind of rock is calcite igneous metamorphic or sedimentary?
ANSWERCalcite is really not a rock it is a mineral therefore it can not really be metamorphic , sedimentary , or igneous. But it is usually associated in materials of sediment so most likely it is sedimentary. If you would have to pick one. SEDIMENTARY
Which rock is mostly likely a sedimentary rock?
One showing an igneous nature.
What kind of rock would be most likely to find a fossil sandstone or marble?
Sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock - which is the only type of rock which can contain fossils.
