What is the definition for a drilling sample?
their drilling samples
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
In which type of rock are fossils least likely to occur?
Fossils would not likely be found in rock other than limestone, sandstone, and shale, or rock such as marble that has morphed from these sedimentary rocks. Fossils can basically be find in most Sedimentary rocks, but not in Igneous rocks because they are formed in volcanoes.
What type of rock are mostly found in mountains?
volcanic mountains are mostly associated with igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks at their slopes can be found due to weathering,but mountains such as fold mountains can contain igneous rocks,metarmophic ro cks and even sedimentary rocks at their slopes
What kind of rocks can you find gold in?
Gold is usually found in metamorphic rock but can also be found in sedimentary rock. In deep mines, quartz rock is found in association with gold.
Where are common elements found?
in rocks
What is the definition for a drilling sample?

Are metals are found in rocks called ores?
Yes metals are found in rocks called ores. Most metals are more reactive and are found combined with other elements in rocks.
Why gold found as pure elements in rocks?
Gold does not readily react with other elements, so it is often found in 'pure' form, also the rocks surrounding the gold prevent it from oxidation.
Are there fallen meteorites in Florida?

SEDIMENTARY
Where are the elements of the earth found?
In the rocks and minerals that make up the Earth.
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
What is the liquid found in volcanic rocks?
If there is liquid in volcanic rocks, it would most likely be water.
What rocks are fossil most likely to be found?
Small shelled marine organisms are the most common easily observable fossils found in rocks.
