Fossils are formed in sedimentary rocks, which has multiple layers to show the level of soil back then.

What are Cast fossils mold fossils petrified fossils trace fossils carbon fossils and preserved fossils?

Cast fossils: Formed when minerals fill a mold left by a decayed organism. Mold fossils: Created when an organism's remains leave an impression in sediment that hardens into rock. Petrified fossils: Organic material replaced by minerals over time, forming a rock-like replica. Trace fossils: Evidence of an organism's activity (e.g., footprints or burrows) preserved in sedimentary rock. Carbon fossils: Organisms preserved in carbon-rich environments, like coal or oil deposits. Preserved fossils: Organisms remain intact or partially intact due to exceptional preservation conditions.

When looking at a rock column where would you expect to find the oldest rock fossils?

In a rock column, the oldest rock fossils are typically found at the bottom layers. This is due to the principle of superposition, where sedimentary layers are deposited over time, with newer layers forming on top of older ones. Thus, as you move downward in the column, you encounter older geological formations and their associated fossils.

Why is it unlikey that fossils would be found in ingenous rocks?

Igneous rocks began as hot, fluid material - from lava erupted at the Earth's surface forming extrusive rocks, from magma (unerupted lava) at shallow depths forming intrusive rocks, or from magma in deep bodies (plutons) forming plutonic rocks. But whatever the form the nature of their formation, the heat at formation, any organic material would immediately burn up rather than become fossilised. The absence of fossils is a simple and obvious indicator that any given contextual rock or strata is igneous.
