Why are their so many well-preserved fossils?
There are so many well preserved fossils because there are so many fossils, some will be well preserved. In certain locations at certain times the conditions will be right for preserving living tissues.
What is so nice about fossils that have been encased in amber or ice?
Fossils encased in amber or ice are well-preserved, offering unique insights into ancient ecosystems and organisms. The amber fossils often capture minute details due to the clarity and protection provided by the resin. Ice fossils can include soft tissues and DNA that are usually not preserved in other types of fossils due to rapid freezing.
Why should fossils be preserved?
Because cats fall from the sky, so why not? teapot
Can fossils be stored in amber?
Any organism or parts of an organism counts as a fossil when preserved within amber, so fossils can be stored in amber.
Why are the Egyptian mummies so well preserved?
Because the mummification process makes them well-preserved.
Can fossils be frozen?
Yes.Take the Iceman for example.He was from Europe's Copper Stone Age and his body was so well preserved that scientists could find out what he ate before he died of being shot in the chest by an arrowhead.
Why are the tombs so well preserved?
PeekaBoo!
Which dinosaur has the least amount of fossils found?
There are many dinosaur species with very few fossils found, making it difficult to determine which has the absolute least. Some examples include the Spinosaurus and Irritator, which are known from limited fossil discoveries.
Why is a trace fossil a fossil?
Well, fossils are the remains of any organisms that were once alive preserved in petrified form or as a mold or cast in rock form. Trace fossils are geological records of biological activity. Trace fossils may be impressions made on the substrate by an organism: for example, burrows, borings (bioerosion), urolites (erosion caused by evacuation of liquid wastes), footprints and feeding marks, and root cavities. So trace fossils can basically be in rock, or fossil in this case, formation.
Why can you not find fossils in other rocks?
Every rocks have formed in special environment some form by lava and some form in sea, raver and lakes so the rock which is formed inside water so they have fossils of specific environment and the rocks form by lava it was hot so there were no possibility to preserved living organism.
Why are the frigid temperatures of Siberia and the sticky tar La Brea Tar Pits preserve fossils so well?
The frigid temperatures of Siberia slow down the decomposition process, allowing fossils to be preserved in ice. The sticky tar at La Brea Tar Pits traps animals that become stuck, preserving their remains over time. Both environments create conditions that inhibit decay, leading to the good preservation of fossils.
Fossils may be found in amber?
Yes, fossils can be found preserved in amber. Amber is fossilized tree resin that can capture and preserve insects, small animals, and even plant materials. This provides valuable insights into ancient ecosystems and evolution.
