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).
If a scientist find trace fossils that show a path in the sand from a snail like animals . What might the scientist learn about the animal?
If a scientist finds trace fossils showing a path in the sand from a snail-like animal, they might learn about the animal's movement patterns, behavior, and habitat preferences. The trail can indicate how the animal navigated its environment, whether it was foraging for food or escaping predators. Additionally, the depth and width of the trail could provide insights into the size and physical characteristics of the animal. Overall, these trace fossils can help reconstruct the ecological dynamics of the environment in which the animal lived.
Why can you find other fossils?
Because other animals that are extinct today may have existed
How do scientists get info about dinosaures?
Scientists get information about dinosaurs from fossils and they are able to trace DNA and find out how dinosaurs looked, ate, hunted and lived.
What plants and animals can you find in badlands?
lots of fossils and unusual plants and maybe some cacti
What kinds of fossils might you find in the tapeats sandstone?
Personally all I found was an abundance of trace fossils - worm burrows and rarely some ?cruziana? (?trilobite trails). I believe it is possible to find microfossils called VSMs (vase shaped microfossils) if you take the time and have hand-lenses/microscopes...
How have you used fossils to learn about animals that are extinct or have changed over time?
Fossils are the only way to learn which animals are extinct or have changed over time. We can look at animals that exist today and speculate concerning on the appearance of a common ancestor. We frequently have to change our opinion when we find a fossil.
What rock type in which you might find fossils?
Sedimentary rocks are the type in which fossils are most commonly found. This is because they are formed from layers of sediment, which can entomb and preserve the remains of plants and animals over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks where fossils can be found include limestone, sandstone, and shale.
What would you expect to find in soil?
in the soil you can find many insects, minerals and even water. do you know that if we dig anywhere, we will get fossils of animals and plants
Why are trace fossils so important to scientists?
Anything a scientist can get their hands on to test are of interest and value to the scientist as well as the human race which gains information. The operative word 'trace' means that DNA can be extracted from this fossil, most fossils are long dried up and the elements have been absorbed back into the environment, and just an impression is left. With trace fossils there is some sort of tissues left. ya your right
Did somebody find any fossils?
Yes somebody did find fossils
How can geologists tell about plants and animals that lived on earth a long time ago?
Well, most of the time geologists find fossils of plants and animals, and then study them to find out how long ago the plant(or animal) lived.
