What is Fossil Diagenesis?
Processes during shallow burial.
What type of rock are you most likely to find a fossil?
You are most likely to find them in sedimentary rock.
What are cast fossils?
One form of fossil forms when an organism dies and its body is covered by layers of sediment. As time passes, the organism itself, particularly when composed primarily of softer materials, is eroded and carried away, leaving a negative imprint of its body. This type of fossil is called a mold. A cast fossil forms when a mold fossil is filled with some form of mineral, usually through the seepage of water depositing the minerals within the mold. In time, the mold is filled and the materials deposited harden, creating a replica of the original fossil. This is called a cast fossil.
What information can the fossil record provide about patterns of diversification and extinction?
Fossils can provide information about what lived in the past. By comparing the fossils to their modern counterparts, scientists can also provide us with information about the environment in which the rock containing the fossil was deposited. Also, fossils can be used as time indicators. This can be important when trying to piece together the history of a continent because the fossil can be used to compare the ages of rocks that are separated by great distances. In a nutshell, the fossil record can provide evolutionary information on extinction and diversification, how they died off, what their life was like, what their time period was like, and what they evolved into.
What type of dating would be used to determine the age of rocks by using the fossil?
By using the geologic time scale. Certain organisms are only found during certain times and if a fossil of one of these organisms is found then you can determine the relative age of the fossil.
Is sandstone a fossil?
A fossil is the preserved remains of an animal, plant or other organism while sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock. There is a fairly distinct difference between the two, thus sandstone is not a fossil. Sandstone may have fossil inclusions, but we are talking about two different things regarding fossils and sandstone.

What principle is a geologist applying when deciding that a fossil in a mud layer is older than a fossil in a sandstone layer above it?
Which principle is a geologist applying when deciding that a fossil in a mud layer is older than a fossil in a sandstone layer above it.
What kind of rock would be most likely to find a fossil sandstone or marble?
Sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock - which is the only type of rock which can contain fossils.
During what period did dinosaurs first appear in the fossil records?
The oldest dinosaur fossils known to man date back to the late Triassic Period about 230 Million Years Ago.
What are remains of plants and animals that are deposited in thick layers?
Fossil remains
Where can you find a Pokemon fossil in Pokemon Platinum?
in sedimentary rock deposited by volcanoes
What period did the first dinosaur's appear in?
The earliest reptiles known evolved around 312 million years ago, and looked a lot like lizards. However, they were not actually lizards. The oldest known lizard fossil dates to 220 million years ago, about the same time that dinosaurs evolved. That was during the Triassic period of the Mesozoic era.
What are some examples of fossil rocks?
Fossils rocks are sedimentary rocks such as coal, limestone, sandstone, and shale.
Which of the following rocks would most likely contain a fossil sandstone granite marble or basalt?
Limestone
What was the two new plants that came during the mesozoic era?
There were actually three types of plants that evolved in the Mesozoic. Cycads and ginkgos evolved around the late Triassic and early Jurassic. The firsts flowering plants appear in the fossil record during the early Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era.
