What else can I help you with?
Are fossils on found in rock?
Yes... fossils are found in rocks, but rocks deep within the surface.
What kind of rock are fossils found in?
Igneous rocks.
Why do scientists look to sedimentary rocks when studying the history of the Earth?
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary 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.
Why aren't fossils found in ingenious rocks?
because they are rocks and fossils dont belong in rocks and fossils can be made things an rocks cant :(...
If you examined a rock sample and observe fossils in it what type of rock does the sample represent?
Fossils are only found in rocks that are laid down on the surface of the Earth. The majority of fossiliferous rocks are therefore sedimentary BUT fossils are also occasionally found in lava flows (igneous rocks) - eg lava trees and in some metamorphosed sedimentary rocks (metamorphic rocks) - eg the "delabole butterfly"
Which type of rock is where fossils are found?
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
Do all rocks form fossils?
No, fossils are actually very difficult to find. The majority of fossils found are marine invertebrates. They are usually found in sedimentary rock. However, there is plenty of sedimentary rock that contains no fossils at all.
What group are fossils never found in?
Fossils are never found in Igneous rocks
Why have sedimentary rocks been very important to scientists who study how living things have changed over the ages?
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Fossils are they key to understanding what living things used to be like.
Is it true that Fossils are frequently found in metamorphic rock?
No, fossils are typically not found in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which can destroy any fossils present. Fossils are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks where the conditions for preservation are more favorable.
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
