What kind of rock is best when you go fossil hunting?
The best type of rock to find fossils in is sedimentary rock this is laid down over time and will contain dead animal's, fish and crustaceans. Specific types are trilobites and brachiopods. Fossils can often be found in coal.
Why are places with more sedimentary rock better places for fossil hunting?
Nearly all fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
What is the best fossil hunting residence in England?
some say Whitby but the answer is Lyme Regis/Charmouth
How can I find a fossil and what are the best methods for locating them?
To find a fossil, you can start by looking in areas with exposed rock layers, such as cliffs, quarries, or riverbanks. You can also join fossil hunting groups or visit museums for guidance. The best methods for locating fossils include researching fossil-rich areas, using tools like hammers and chisels to carefully extract fossils, and being patient and observant while searching.
How do you donate a fossil in Fossil Fighters?
You need to clean the same fossil rock a couple of times and then it immediately donates the fossil rock
What is larger fossil or rock?
Originally... fossils form as pressure compresses soil materials and forms rock. Rock is larger than the fossil it contains. However, the rock can later fracture or split; the fossil inside the rock can also be broken. But the fossil is still contained in the rock, so rock is still larger until the fossil is mechanically separated from the rock. However, if small, the indentation of fossil can become only an etching in the rock.
Removing a fossil from rock is called?
Removing a fossil from rock is called fossil extraction or fossil preparation. This process requires delicate tools and techniques to carefully separate the fossil from the surrounding rock without damaging it.
What are ancient organisms preserved in a rock called?
A fossil is any evidence of an organism preserved in rock.
Where is the best place to find fossils?
Well you could look in several types of areas, like areas of rivers that are not heavily used by people, shores of natural lakes, and depending on where you live exposed rocky banks could all yield fossils. I prefer lakes and rivers.
How can index fossils be used to date rock?
Because if you know how old the fossil is, and you find the fossil inside a rock, you know that rock has a maxium age corresponding with the age of the fossil.
What is the best type of rock for fossil formation?
Sedimentary rocks (such as shale, sandstone, and limestone) are the best types of rock for fossil formation. These rocks are formed from layers of sediment that can preserve and protect fossils over time. Additionally, the fine-grained nature of sedimentary rocks allows for the detailed preservation of fossils.
Where is you most likely to discover a fossil?
You are most likely to discover a fossil in sedimentary rock formations, as these rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments that can preserve organic remains. Common locations include riverbanks, cliffs, and areas with exposed rock layers, especially in regions known for their geological history. Additionally, certain fossil beds and natural history sites are renowned for their rich fossil deposits. Always check local regulations and obtain permission before fossil hunting in specific areas.
