when an organism is trapped in sedimentary rock, it will die and the organism will slowly decay, but it won't decay altogether and you get a fossil. the older the fossil is the lower down it will be in a sedimentary layer. that's called superposition...
A cast is formed
its not from radioactivity its from carbon dating
It can do but not always, it usually decays into bits very like itself.
An earth substance can become another earth substance only through the decay of radiation, or through compression. That said, there are no radioactive materials that will decay into gold, and none that can be compressed to form it. The short answer to your question is: No, you cannot convert rock to gold.
Absolute age is the age of a rock as determined by the measurement of radioactive decay from the time of the rock's formation.
The cycle of rocks from their birth to eventual decay is termed as Rock Cycle.

Absolute dating relies on radioactive decay of elements in a rock. When an igneous rock is formed it may contain elements that are a mixture.
They need to determine the amount of radioactive decay of a specific isotope in the rock since its formation.
The method used will be determined by the rock type, but the age of a rock will be determined by a determination of the amount of decay of a radioactive isotope, either contained in the rock, or in a geologic layer of rock coinciding with a fossil.
it is used by scientist to to calculate a rock's age

Chemical and mechanical weathering causes the decay and some discoloration. Elements leached from other rocks could contribute to staining.
