How are footprints fossils different from bone fossils?

Yes, preserved footprints are examples of fossils.


What part of the fossil is found?

Harder parts of organisms become fossils. For example vasculature in plants and bones of animals are best preserves in the fossils.


What are the most likely parts of a animal to be preserved of a fossil?

when an organism dies, its soft parts often decay quickly or are eaten by animals. that is why only hard parts of an organism generally leave fossils. these hard parts include bones, shells, teeth, seeds, and woody stems.


What are altered hard parts?

Why are more fossils not found?

Asking why there are more animal fossils presupposes that there are more animal fossils than plant fossils. This is not the necessarily case. Plant fossils are actually much more common than animal fossils. If you consider the distribution of biomass in modern ecosystems, it is clear that plants are the dominant kingdom (e.g if you walk into a rainforest, you see hundreds of trees, but few large animals). This distribution is a necessity for any functioning ecosystem because the plants are primary producers (other species need them for survival).Lignite, a low grade coal, is composed entirely of semi-compacted plant fossils. It is so common that it is often burned for use as fuel.This being said, plants also decay faster than animals given the same initial conditions (they do not typically have hard parts like bones), so the percentage of plants that are fossilized should be less than the percentage of macroscopic animals. Since plants so greatly outnumber animals, however, this does not make fossil animals more common.Addendum:It matters too whether one is discussing microfossils or fossils large enough to see or whole fossils or merely a fossilized leaf. See related questions.Plants have softer bodys parts than animals

What is so nice about fossils that have been encased in amber or ice?

They do not decompose as quickly as other fossils, so tissue and other soft parts tend to be preserved.


Where do scholars get information about animals that lived during prehistoric times?

Fossils and other naturally preserved parts of their bodies.


What are asphalt fossils?

Tar is known as Asphalt fossils. Asphalt preserve only hard parts of organisms such as teeth, bones and the outer shells of spiecies. Countless numbers of these fossils are preserved in tar pits.


How are footprints fossils different from bone fossils?

Yes, preserved footprints are examples of fossils.


Do all rocks contain fossils explain the conditions necessary for fossils to form?

nopee.. and the conditions are that the organism has to be buried quickly, hidden from scavengers. and another condition is if they have hard parts they are preserved better.


Why the fossil records is not complete?

organisms tend to decay before becoming a fossil. animals with hard parts are preserved more easily. geological processes may destroy fossils.

A footprint of an extinct dinosaur is an example of a fossil?

Yes, footprints that are preserved in rock, such as those of extinct dinosaurs, are fossils. Such fossils are known as ''trace fossils'' , as opposed to ''body fossils'' which are fossilized remnants of the hard parts of these ancient organisms.
