In what type of rock do you find a fossil?
The vast majority of fossils are found in 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.
How can fossils be used to date the rock in the strata?
Because index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur. They also tell what year they were made.
Why were so few dinosaurs found in Antarctica?
The reason that so few dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica is because it is almost impossible to dig for fossils on most of Antarctica. First, most if it is underneath a mile of ice. Secondly, because Antarctica is so harsh, few paleontologists go to dig even in the areas of rock that are exposed. To me, for those reasons, it's surprising that any dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica.
Why are there few fossils left of the earliest organisms?
Fossils are incredibly numerous, particularly for small marine organisms, and plant life. Larger animals are less numerous simply because of predation and because of depositional requirements for preservation.
Why do metamorphic rocks often contain fossils?
Some rocks are old.These sometimes have fossils.This is because the rocks used to be mud.When a inprint is made on the mud and does not get washed away the mud hardends the inprint stays.Years later the inprinted mud turns into a rock.If you get lucky and crack that rock open, the inprint is there.
Why are very fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?
Isn't it, " Why are very FEW fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?"and i thought you would know.
Why fossils are rarely found in metamorphic and igneous rocks?
This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
Why have so few fossil dinosaurs been found in Antarctica?
The biggest problem with finding fossils in Antarctica is that everything is covered in ice, making it hard for archaeologists to excavate and find fossils.
Why have so few dinosaur found in Antarctica?
So few dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica because the entire continent is covered in ice, making it hard to dig and/or search for large fossils.
Why are fossils rare in igneous and metamorphic rock?
This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
Why have so few dinosaur been found in Antarctica?
So few dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica because the entire continent is covered in ice, making it hard to dig and/or search for large fossils.
What is the age of fossils?
Fossils have been found with ages from a few tens of thousands of years old to roughly three billion years old.
When was the first harp built?
The earliest evidence of the harp is found in Ancient Egypt circa 2500 BC. They were shaped liked bows or angular and had very few strings.
Why is Precambrian history more difficult to study than more recent geological history?
no fossils of organisms with hard parts. the few soft body part fossils found rarely fossilize well.
How many fossils are there in emerald?
A few
Why have so few dinosaur fossils been in Antarctica?
To preserve a fossil you need very special conditions during a long time period. That is why there are only few places in which you can find fossils. Besides, is not easy doing this type of research in Antarctica. Do you imagine the cold?
What is an Abrosaurus?
A long-necked, for-legged sauropod, Abrosaurus had a small head with nostrils apparently set above its eyes. Very little is known about this mysterious plant-eating giant. It was named from just a few fossils found in 1986.
