Are fossils found in upper layers of sedimentary rocks are older than fossils found in no one there is a sedimentary rocks?
Fossils found in the upper layers of sedimentary rocks are generally younger than those found in lower layers, due to the principle of superposition, which states that in undisturbed layers, older sediments are deposited first and are buried by younger sediments. If there are no sedimentary rocks present, it is impossible to compare their ages directly. Thus, the age of the fossils can vary significantly depending on their specific geological context.
Why are the oldest fossils sometimes not on the bottom layers of rocks?
Older fossils may not always be found at the bottom layers of rocks due to geological processes like folding, faulting, or erosion, which can disrupt the original order. In these cases, older fossils may be found at higher layers while younger fossils are found in lower layers.
What kind of rock are fossils found in?
Igneous rocks.
Are fossils on found in rock?
Yes... fossils are found in rocks, but rocks deep within the surface.
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 :(...
Which type of rock is where fossils are found?
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
Where are older fossils mostly found under or above younger fossils?
If the rocks containing the fossils have been involved in a mountain building episode they would be folded and if some of the folds were laid in a recumbent position and later eroded you would have older above younger rocks. Of course, it would be easy to find out if this was the case because of the various sedimentary structures in each separate layer of rock.
What group are fossils never found in?
Fossils are never found in Igneous rocks
What rocks are majority of the fossils found in?
sediment rocks
Is it true that Fossils are frequently found in metamorphic rock?
No, fossils are typically not found in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which can destroy any fossils present. Fossils are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks where the conditions for preservation are more favorable.
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
