What are traces or remains of organisms that lived in the past?
Fossils are proof of organisms that lived long ago
What types of fossils does not form in sediments?
Well there are 3 types of fossils: Petrified Fossils, Molds and Cast, and Preserved Remains. Petrified Fossils are the organisms buried in the layers of sediment. Molds and Casts are the organisms, like shells, buried by sediments, in which they gradually dissolve. Preserved Remains are the organisms preserved in other substances. For example, entire organisms, such as huge elephant-like mammoths that lived thousands of years ago, have been preserved in ice. Therefore, Preserved Remains is a major type of fossil that does not form in sediments. This can be formed by decades of being stuck in the ice age and eventually falling through the ice and never getting out. Since you cant get out you get frozen! Being frozen and preserved in another type of substance in called... Preserved Remains! --Hope this could help. Thanks for reading.:)
What is a natural resource burned to get energy and formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago?
Both coal and oil are assumed to have formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago. Most natural gas is also assumed to have formed by the decomposition of these materials.
What are the most common animal remains that become fossilized?
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.
Which method of radiometric dating is used mainly to date the remains of organisms that lived within the last 50000 years?

What is the defention for?
the defintion for a fossil is the preserved remains or trace of an oganism that lived in the past.
Why are fossils formed in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous rocks?
Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.
The nonrenewable resource formed by the remains of organisms that lived long ago?
Fossil Fuels:)
