Main locations of sedimentary rock is at the bottom of a water source such as an ocean.
As rivers flow to the sea, they may carry mud, sand, pebbles, and boulders along the way. The river drops this material, called sediment, into the sea. As layers of sediment build up over a period of many years, the great pressure of all these layers changes the sediment into sedimentary rock. Therefor you might be able to find sedimentary rock at the bottom of the ocean or a lake or river.

What type of rocks would you expect to find at the mouth of a river?
sedimentary
What locations on the Earth would you expect to find sedimentary rocks and why?
in georgia because georgia has a collection of rocks
Would you find fossil in sedimentary rocks?
Yes, you can find fossils in sedimentary rocks.
Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?
You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.
What would you expect to find in a sheath?
narnia
Where can you find the oldest fossils in sedimentary rock layers?
It would be found in the lower layers, rather that younger fossils which are found in the upper layers. ♥

sedimentary
If you were looking for fossils in what types of rocks would you expect to find them?
Sedimentary rock layers.

When looking at a cross section of a sedimentaryrock depositwhere would you find the oldest?
As a general rule, the oldest rocks in a sedimentary sequence is at the bottom. The exceptions are sequences which have been turned upside-down, but this is rare.
Where would you expect to find the oldest rock on the sea floor?
At the greatest distance from a mid oceanic spreading centre.
What size particles would one expect to find in a sedimentary rock that formed from sediments deposited in the middle of a lake?
little wet ones

Where would you expect to find the oldest rock on the oldest floor?
Somewhere at the bottom of the Marianas Trench you would find the oldest rock of the oceanic crust. Somewhere else, however, there are older rocks on the ocean floor--those deposited by icebergs that have broken off of glaciers. Those erratic rocks could be much older than the oldest oceanic crust.
Where would you expect to find the fewest invertebrates?
Where would you find the most invertebrates
Would you expect to find a well preserved dinosaur bone in a metomorphic rock like schist?
because igneous' constant heat would melt it and water used to make sedimentary would break it with pressure or erode it
