What else can I help you with?
When looking at a cross section of a sedimentaryrock depositwhere would you find the oldest?
As a general rule, the oldest rocks in a sedimentary sequence is at the bottom. The exceptions are sequences which have been turned upside-down, but this is rare.
Why are the ultra rare Shopkins toys Ultra rare?
Shopkins toys are regarded as ultra rare because of their characteristics
How rare is a funky kong plush?
very very rare
Do all rocks have crystals in it?
Most rocks do but there are some exceptions. Coal (such as bituminous coal) is composed of organic material but is considered a sedimentary rock. Glassy rocks such as obsidian or pumice cool too quickly to contain crystals.
Are delafield rubber stamps rare?
No delafield rubber stamps are not rare they are freely available on ebay
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.
Would you find fossils in metamorphic rock?
You can but it very very rare. you are more likely to find them in sedimentary rocks.
Which type of rock igneous or metamorphic contains fossils?
Metamorphic rocks do not typically contain fossils, as the intense heat and pressure involved in their formation often destroy any remnants of organic matter. Igneous rocks are formed from molten material and do not contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation and compression of sediments, are the type of rock that commonly contain fossils.
Why are fossils so rare in igneous or highly metamorphosed rock?
Probably because both igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed by means other that don't allow for fossils to be preserved.For example, igneous rocks iare made of cooled magma and the only way a fossil would emerge would be through falling into the magma and not melting.
What rare rock formations are found in Warm Springs Ga?
Gneiss metamorphic rocks, a stressed formation produces it along with quartzite and schist, two other metamorphic rocks.
Which type of rock may contain fossil?
fossils almost allways occur in sedementary rock. this is the only way to get fossils without burning or cruching the fossil. you sometimes get fossils in igneous rock, but this is very rare. igneous rock fossils do not have any actual "fossils" in them, they are just impressions.
What type of rock might have fossils?
Igneous rock is formed by the cooling of magma - liquid or molten rock. Fossils won't be found in there for obvious reasons. We don't even bother to look for fossils in something like, say, basalt, which is an igneous rock. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on igneous rock.
Does lamprophyre form fossils?
A lamprophyre is a type of ultramafic intrusive igneous rock. It is very rare for fossils to be formed in igneous rocks (and they usually only form as mold fossils in extrusive deposits). As such fossils will not form in lamprophyres.
Which type of rock would be most likely to contain fossils?
Generally, fossils are found in sedimentary rocks because other rocks (igneous and metamorphic) would expose fossils to too much heat while the rocks formed. However, there are rare exceptions to this.
Why aren't fossils found in metamorphic rock?
Because metamorphic rocks usually are subject to large amounts of pressure. This pressure can break down all the grains in the sedimentary rock, and the fossils will be broken down as well. It's still the same material, but it has a different shape.
What are the natural substance found in rocks?
Some natural substances found in rocks include minerals like quartz, mica, feldspar, and calcite. Rocks can also contain elements like silicon, oxygen, aluminum, and iron. Minerals and elements in rocks contribute to their composition and properties.
Are metamorphic rocks valuable?
It would depend on which metamorphic rock. Slate is in demand as a high-end roofing product and paver stone. Marble is used in sculpture, countertops, and flooring. Anthracite is considered the premier coal type. Most rocks, in fact, have some sort of economic usefulness; some more than others.
