Why do most plants and animals do not become fossils?
why do you think many animals and plants did not become fossils
What types of fossils most likely teach us about animals behaviours?
The ones full of dead animals
What can animals not be preserved in as fossils?
Animals are not preserved as fossils. Fossils are imprints of the organism where the body has been replaced by rock minerals. They are most usually found in sedimentary rocks, occasionally in metamorphic rock but never in igneous rock.
Why do most fossils form into sedimentary rock?
Fossils are impressions or traces of earlier life forms and are normally found in the sediments in or near where they lived. Animals and plants do not live in hot molten magma so we don't find their fossils in igneous rocks and most traces of past life are destroyed when rocks are metamorphosed, so we are left with only sedimentary rocks.
Where do most Florida animals live in?
Most Florida animals live in swampy and grassy places.
What is the most important thing about fossils?
They are a window into the past and a way for humans to understand how they and animals have evolved
In what type of rack do most fossils form?
Most fossils form in sedimentary rock, which is formed from layers of sediment that build up over time. This process preserves the remains of plants and animals, creating fossils.
Where do the leaf eating animals of the rainforest would most likely live?
most animals live in trees
Why are fossils rarley found in igneous rocks?
Fossils are the remains or traces of animals or plants and are normally found in rocks which used to be sediments at the bottom of a body of water in which they lived or were swept into. None of these living organisms were able to live in molten magma which is what most igneous rocks used to be.
What fossils are most likely to be found in rocks?
Fossils of marine animals like ammonites, trilobites, and brachiopods are commonly found in sedimentary rocks. Plant fossils such as leaves, stems, and pollen are typically found in rocks as well. Fossils of dinosaurs and other land-dwelling animals are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks that were formed in terrestrial environments.
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.
What type of rock most commonly hold fossils?
Sedimentary rocks are most commonly known to hold fossils, particularly rocks like limestone, sandstone, and shale. These rocks form from the accumulation of sediment over time, which can help preserve the remains of plants and animals as fossils.
