ash-fall fossil formatin is very unique in its formation. 1. a volcano erupts, and ash is spread through the area. 2. an animal breathes in ash and dies. the animal is covered in ash. 3. soft tissues start to decompose as more ash starts to pile. 4. more ash continues to pile on top of the dead animal, and it turns to a rock. if this isn't very accurate go to www-museum.unl.edu/research/vertpaleo/ashfall.HTML

∙ 9y agoFossils form due to several chemical and physical processes. Minerals have to sink deep into the bones, replacing organic matter. Layers of sediment build up and compress the remains. The small spaces between bones must be filled in by sediment. The fossils must remain in the rock until uncovered by erosion or excavation.

∙ 12y agoThe four steps of fossilization are:
1. death of the organism
for ex. a fish
2. deposition: this process occurs quickly
for ex. a fish goes to the bottom of the sea and starts to get burried in sediment.
3. compaction: this process takes 100s-1000s of years
for ex. fish compacting under several layers of sediment
4. turns to fossil: this process takes 10,000s-millions of years.

The process of changing the hard parts of the remains of an animal or plant with minerals is called?
Fossilization
Is tar a plant material?
Yes, it was formed during the process of fossilization
A dinosaur tooth can be fossilized when the minerals that make up rock replace the minerals that is made up the bones what is this process called?
Total replacement of the minerals: replacement fossilization. Partial replacement of the minerals: perminalization fossilization.
The requirements for fossilization of any organism include the?
In order to be fossilized, an organism must be suitable for the process. Bones and teeth are perfect for fossilization and the organism must be buried quickly to be preserved. The soil must be low in acidity and have high concentrations of minerals.
Why can shark teeth be found in bedrock?
Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years. This means that their teeth have been available to the fossilization process for a long time.

Why is a quick burial helpful in the fossilization process?
it gets the fossils fossilizing faster

6
What fossilization process involves the transformation of organic material into a thin film of water?
Carbonization
What is the process of changing the hard parts of the remains of an animals or plants with minerals called?
Fossilization
What is original preservation?
Original Preservation is the process of fossilization, where the actual organism is preserved in whole or in part.
The process of changing the hard parts of the remains of animal or plant with minerals?
Fossilisation; Fossilization for Americans.
