Why are fossils colored?
Fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock derives its color from a variety of sources, but usually from the minerals which compose the rock.
What sort of places are fossils usually found in?
Sedimentary rock
What type of rock layer are tertiary fossils usually found in?
Tertiary fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock layers. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and compression of sediments over time, making them a common host for preserving fossils from the Tertiary period.
What can animals not be preserved in as fossils?
Animals are not preserved as fossils. Fossils are imprints of the organism where the body has been replaced by rock minerals. They are most usually found in sedimentary rocks, occasionally in metamorphic rock but never in igneous rock.
Where are most fossils found-?
Fossils can be found all over the world, usually in sedimentary rock, which comprises the bedrock of the majority of the planet. Limestone and shale are particularly good fossil medium.
What is the term for the remains for the remains of things found in a rock?
Fossils
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
Are fossils an important component of igneous rock?
No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, not igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can preserve fossils, while igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, where fossils are usually destroyed.
Fossils are most likely found in what rock?
No. They are usually found in sedimentary rock.
What rock are most marine animal fossils in?
The most marine fossils are found in sedimentary rock
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
Do igneous rocks usually contain fossils?
Igneous rocks are formed from cooling and solidifying of molten rock, so they usually do not contain fossils. This is because fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation of sediment and organic materials, preserving the remains of plants and animals.
