No. For fossil formation to take place a series of fortunate events must occur. If any part of the series is missing we will never see the fossil! In fact, fossilization is a fairly rare occurrence. Nature tends toward recycling. That includes just about everything from plants and animals to rocks and minerals.

How fossils are layered?
We Find fossils Inside the Mud or soils deep end... The more deep ... The more you get fossils The more Near.. The less chances or formation of Fossils..
Why there are no human fossils in coal?
Coal fossils formation begin about 60 million to 290 million years ago (before human existence) therefore no human fossils are found in coal.
What areas lends itself to the formation of fossils?
The Ocean bed is perhaps the best for formation of fossils since it is the most undisturbed. Other areas would include the ones with sedimentary rocks less than 500 million years old.
Which event occurs last in the non cyclic pathway of ATP formation?
formation of NADPH
What type of geographic formation were many of the artifacts and fossils found?
Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock. This is because sediments (soil, sand, etc) pile on top of bones and then solidify into rock, over time, preserving fossils. Because these generally remain buried very deep, it does make it easier to find fossils in areas where the ground has been pushed upward by the formation of mountain ranges. Thus, sedimentary rock is nearly always the material fossils are found in, and mountains make it a little easier to find fossils.
Where is the most common place to find ankylosaurus fossils?
Ankylosaurus fossils have been found in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana, the Lance Formation of Wyoming, and the Scollard Formation of Alberta, Canada. Where they are most common specifically I don't know.
Is the information of fossils a common event?
Fossils occur naturally after many hundreds to millions of years. They are more common under ideal conditions.
How does the environment affect the formation of fossils?
the environment can rain a lot and fossils can not become fossils when theres a lot of water around
What is sunderlands formation?
The Sunderland River Formation is a geologic formation in Nunavut. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.
How fossils are layered?

Where does the allosaurus come from?
Allosaurus fossils have been found in the Morrison Formation of western North America, the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal, and the Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania. Their fossils date to between 155 and 150 million years ago.
Is fossilization a common event?
No, fossilization is a very rare event. Most fossils are found in what were marine sediments some of which are full of signs of life, ie. trace fossils, but no actual body fossils. Land animals and plants are poorly represented in the fossil record because, unless they died in or near a body of water their bodies are not buried naturally before they rot or are scavenged.
Which effect of weathering is useful to plants and animals?
bwcause it is the formation of fossils
Where in Alberta did ankylosaurus live?
In Alberta, Ankylosaurus fossils have been found in the Scollard Formation. The Scollard Formation is located about halfway between the cities of Edmonton and Calgary. The Scollard Formation also holds fossils of other dinosaurs, such as T-rex, Triceratops, and Pachycephalosaurus.
Where are the fossils of the dinosaur apatosaurus found?
All known Apatosaurus fossils have been found in the Morrison Formation of the western USA. Fossils are known from Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Utah.
What are the three natural occurrences that favor the formation of fossils?
wheathering,erosion and cementing
Why there are no human fossils in coal?
Coal fossils formation begin about 60 million to 290 million years ago (before human existence) therefore no human fossils are found in coal.
