What are the most common animal remains that become fossilized?
Flaxdalton1216
- Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the geologic past. Trace fossils are made by marks left by organisms while still alive, such as tracks, burrows, and dung.
- Decomposition, weathering, and scavenging all contribute to what makes fossils so rare.
- Almost all fossils are found in sedimentary rock; almost none are found in metamorphic or igneous rock.
- Fossils are our only direct key to the past, informing us about migratory patterns, weather and environmental conditions, species' interaction, and animal behavior.
- Scientists use index fossils to place events on the geologic time scale. The organisms that become index fossils are chosen because they had relatively short geologic life spans, wide geographic ranges, and are easily identified.
