Are there any fossils found in Nevada?
Probably, yes. California has some of the largest concentrations of Smilodon fossils in the world and I would assume that, with its close proximity, Nevada would have some too.
What is a word that starts with j and has something to do with Volcanoes Water Fossils or Earthquakes?
· Jingbo Volcano (China) · Jocotitlan Volcano (Mexico)
Why is it unlikely that fossils would be found in igneous rock?
Igneous rock is cooled Magma. Organic material is vaporized at that heat. Fossils are readily fornd in sedimentary rock where the organic material is covered under layers of silt which, through time and pressure, forms into sedimentary rock.
Scientists have discovered fossils on an island What type of rock are they most likely examining?
Igneous because islands are USUALLY formed by a volcano erupting and lava cooling....... Hope That helps!
Why do rock and not fossils form sedimentary rock and not igneous rock?
Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.
Where would you find a rock with fossils in it?
You can find rocks that are sedimentary rocks which are found in mountains, rivers and near the seashores.
Why are ocean fossils found on the top of the rocky mountain?
Let's start from the beginning. Millions and millions of years ago, planet Earth was absolutely crowded with volcanoes. As you may know, volcanoes release steam and gasses. As the years went by, the gasses released from volcanoes formed the atmosphere around the planet, which prevented the steam from disappearing into outer space. The steam eventually, in cycles, began to fall back to Earth. Viola, rain had just been "invented". As more and more rain fell, considering almost every surface of the planet was volcanic, the water began to build up and "flood" the planet. Many active volcanoes had now been transformed into underwater volcanoes. As more and more years went by, eventually, bacteria in the water slowly began to evolve, first into jelly-fish like creatures, then tadpole-like creatures, leading all the way up to large ferocious underwater reptiles, amphibians and fish. As the planet started to warm up, probably by methane gasses released from the prehistoric underwater creatures, the water levels on Earth began to drop again. At the same time, the active underwater volcanoes were creating new landmasses, either by lava cooling on the surface of the water or tectonic plates pushing the volcano above sea level. So, this, is how fossils of sea creatures ended up in high land-based mountains. Because millions of years ago, most of Earth was underwater until the water levels dropped or lands "grew" higher. The Rocky Mountains were once underwater. If you take a look at images of the Grand Canyon in the United States, you'll see that it resembles the deep caverns and canyons that you find at the bottom of oceans. That's because the Grand Canyon WAS at the bottom of an ocean.
What sedimentary rock is made underwater from shells of animals?
limestone is made underwater from the shells of animals. We know this because limestone also contains many fossils.
Why couldn't you find fossils in the rock formed by volcanoes?
hi well i dont kno ok

Was New Mexico underwater 100 millon years ago?
Yes, New Mexico was once underwater. There are numerous pieces of evidence that demonstrate its submerssion in the past which include many ocean fish that have been discovered as fossils.
How can mountains on land be composed of rocks that contain fossils of animals that lived in the ocean?

It takes up to 10,000 years for a fossil to form and according to biblical studies, Noah's "flood" was about 4,300 years ago. Therefore the animals who would have drowned in such a flood would not yet be fossils.
Fossils found in younger rocks?
The youngest rocks would be igneous, those created by cooling magma. Impossible to find a fossil there.
What are the most common types of fossils found in Florida?
The most common four types of fossils are:mold fossils(a fossilized impression made in the substrate - a negative image of the organism)cast fossils(formed when a mold is filled in)trace fossils = ichnofossils(fossilized nests, gastroliths, burrows, footprints, etc.)true form fossils(fossils of the actual animal or animal part).
