sedimentary
What are marine fossils?
fossils are something like a plant or bone preserved in rock, then when the preserved thing finally decays there is an impression left in the rock. marine fossils are marine animals, plants, or shells (basically anything in the water, hence marine) that are now fossils.
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
How do you tell how old sediments are?
Sediments that have lithified, or become sedimentary rock, often contain marine and non-marine animal and plant fossils. These fossils are of organisms that existed only in certain time periods in Earth's history. Identifying the fossils reveals a general age of the rock, give or take some tens of millions of years. Actual age can be roughly estimated by means of radiometric dating.
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
How do fossils show that rock at the top of mountains was once under water?
Fossils found in rock at the top of mountains indicate that the rock was once at the bottom of a body of water because the fossils are typically of marine organisms that lived in water. The presence of marine fossils in mountain rock suggests that the rock was uplifted from below sea level to its current position at the mountain top over millions of years.
How did fossils become fossils?
It is the skeleton of an animal or shells pushed under rock for thousands of years and then it is a fossil.
What is the rock that you are most likely to find fossils in?
Igneous rock
Most fossils form in?
Flowers Fossils come out of sedimentary rock. == ==
What are Fossils most ofen preserved in?
rock
Which rock contains bone pieces in it?
Fossils contain compressed animal remains.
What kind of rock is the site of most fossils?
Sedimentary rock is the most common type of rock that contains fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains of plants and animals are buried in sediment, which hardens into sedimentary rock over time, preserving the fossilized organisms.
