Well there are 3 types of fossils: Petrified Fossils, Molds and Cast, and Preserved Remains. Petrified Fossils are the organisms buried in the layers of sediment. Molds and Casts are the organisms, like shells, buried by sediments, in which they gradually dissolve. Preserved Remains are the organisms preserved in other substances. For example, entire organisms, such as huge elephant-like mammoths that lived thousands of years ago, have been preserved in ice. Therefore, Preserved Remains is a major type of fossil that does not form in sediments.
This can be formed by decades of being stuck in the ice age and eventually falling through the ice and never getting out. Since you cant get out you get frozen! Being frozen and preserved in another type of substance in called... Preserved Remains!

How are brachiopods found?
In fossil form? If so, in a range of fossil sediments! They are some of the most common fossils (In Paleozoic deposits anyway)
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often?
Composed of every form and type of existing particles, debrises and detrituses.
Why are fossils found in sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because, unlike most igneous and metamorphic rocks, they form at temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil remains. Dead organisms can become sediments which may, under the right conditions, become sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms from magma; no chance for fossils to form there. Metamorphic rocks are other rock types that are changed by heat and pressure; their transformation and mineral reorganization causes very few fossils to be found there. Sedimentary rock can be formed from the accumulation of sediments and are often formed near ancient shores, basins, and lake beds. If an organism dies and is covered by sediments before being rotted or eaten by predatory organisms, it could eventually become part of the sedimentary layer that becomes rock.
List three substances other that than sediments in which organisms can be preserved?
fossils
What are the three types of fossils and how they are formed?
Fossils can form from pretty much anything. They normally form from animals fish and objects such as jewelry. Fossils are very unique things and show us what happened in history :) booooooooooggggggggggggiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee mmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnn is a fossil as well ;)
What can form fossils before sediments harden into rock?
Coral reef.
What type of material do most fossils form in?
Sediments. Sedimentary materials.
Which of the major types of fossil does not form in sediments?
Petrified fossils are organisms preserved I'm other substances such as amber, tar, ice, or other substances
Which property best describes a rock which has formed from sediments?
The property that best describes a rock which has formed from sediments is that it is usually graded. It has fossils which are in form of rounded particles.
What type of rock forms a fossil?
sedimentary rock -sedimentary rock because organisms die on land or on the bottom of a body of water and the sediments cover it and harden to form fossils. -also, limestone can form fossils.
What kind of rocks would you find fossils in and why?
Fossils are found in sedimentary rock because it is layers of sand, rock, and sediments, and the bones fall between the layers where the form into fossil's.
What are sediments How are they involved in formation of fossils?
Sediments are when you put a penis in a butt and make babies.

What types of rocks contain fossils?
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
Is it true that Fossils most often form when a dead organism is buried in sediments.?
yes only if they are buried for over millions of years
