Hard parts/quick burial
What else can I help you with?
Two conditions necessary for fossils to form?
well in your body there are made up of fossils as fossils are formed in hot places and your body is very warm
Do all rocks contain fossils explain the conditions necessary for fossils to form?
No, not all rocks contain fossils. Fossils form when the remains of plants or animals are buried quickly by sediment, protecting them from decay and allowing for the preservation of the organism's shape. The presence of water and minerals in the surrounding environment helps in the fossilization process by replacing the organic material with minerals over time.
Why is it necessary to keep oxygen out for fossils to form?
mainly to reduce the microbial activities, and decaying
What conditions are necessary for glacier to form?
Cold wet conditions for a glacier to form
Are certain conditions necessary for fossil to form?
yes not all the conditions but some.
What conditions must exist for most fossils to form?
You have to have the dead remains buried quickly and then never distroyed
Why are there no index fossils in the granite and basalt?
Granite and basalt are both igneous rocks - they are formed from magma extruded into another rock layer or from expulsion from a volcano. The heat of the cooling rock would completely melt any fossils they came into contact with and destroy them, so you don't see fossils in these rocks.
Do all rocks form fossils?
No, fossils are actually very difficult to find. The majority of fossils found are marine invertebrates. They are usually found in sedimentary rock. However, there is plenty of sedimentary rock that contains no fossils at all.
Fossils only form in places where the ground is?
Fossils typically form in environments where sediment accumulates, such as riverbeds, lakes, or ocean floors, which provide the necessary conditions for burial and preservation. The ground must be stable and free from disturbances that could erode or destroy the remains. Additionally, low-oxygen environments are often ideal for fossilization, as they slow down decomposition and promote the preservation of organic material. Overall, suitable conditions include sedimentary environments with minimal disruption.
What conditions are necessary for animals and plants to become fossils?
The animal or plants needs to be covered in a sedimentary silt or mud, for a very long time.
Can fossils form anywhere?
Fossils can form anywhere that conditions are conducive to preservation, such as in sedimentary rocks, tar pits, or ice. However, the likelihood of fossil formation varies depending on the environment and the organisms present.
Fossils can only form when?
Fossils can only form when the remains of a plant or animal are buried in sediment quickly after death. The organic tissues are gradually replaced by minerals from the surrounding environment, creating a fossilized replica of the original organism. The process of fossilization usually requires specific conditions such as lack of oxygen, minimal disturbance, and the presence of water and minerals.
