What else can I help you with?
What group are fossils never found in?
Fossils are never found in Igneous rocks
What group of rocks come from living things?
Fossils!
Why aren't fossils found in ingenious rocks?
because they are rocks and fossils dont belong in rocks and fossils can be made things an rocks cant :(...
What is the group of rocks that are formed from sediments?
Sedimentary rocks are a group of rocks that form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, that are deposited and compacted over time. These rocks often contain fossils and are classified based on their composition and texture.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks yield fossils?
Most fossils are preserved in sedimentary rocks.
What kinds of rocks do you not find fossils in and why?
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks, because the intense heat and pressure destroys fossils.
Are fossils on found in rock?
Yes... fossils are found in rocks, but rocks deep within the surface.
How do fossils from in rocks?
Some fossils are not rocks, but they form because there is so much pressure and it blends
What kind of rock are fossils found in?
Igneous rocks.
Are plant and animal fossils found in metamorpic rock?
No. not normally. When fossil bearing rocks are buried miles or kilometres deep they are heated and put under immense pressure. This tends to destroy any fossils. There are some rocks such as limestones which, if they are heated by being in proximity to magma from a volcano, will turn into marble near the heat source and not show any fossils, but a couple of hundred metres away will still have fossils preserved.
How do geologists use fossils to determine rocks age what are this fossils called?
Geologists use fossils to determine the age of rocks through a process called biostratigraphy. They identify the specific group of fossils present in the rock layer, known as index fossils, that have a known age range. By comparing the index fossils to a geological time scale, geologists can estimate the age of the rock layer.
