fossils are something like a plant or bone preserved in rock, then when the preserved thing finally decays there is an impression left in the rock. marine fossils are marine animals, plants, or shells (basically anything in the water, hence marine) that are now fossils.

The best evidence of crustal movement is?
marine fossils found on a mountaintop (: this is what i have
What is the best evidence of crustal uplift?
Marine fossils found at a mountain top
Do all rocks form fossils?
No, fossils are actually very difficult to find. The majority of fossils found are marine invertebrates. They are usually found in sedimentary rock. However, there is plenty of sedimentary rock that contains no fossils at all.
What is liquid from the remains of marine organisms?
Fossils are formed from the buried remains of marine organisms. These organisms are under a tremendous amount of pressure and, over time, they fossilize.
Which observed feature would provide the evidence of crustal stability?
marine fossils at elevations high above sea level
What rock are most marine animal fossils in?
The most marine fossils are found in sedimentary rock
How is possible for the remains of marine fossils to be found in the Alps?
The marine fossils that are found in the Alps were once on the bottom of the ocean. Plate collision has resulted in their uplift.
What type of rock are marine fossils found in?
sedimentary

What type of sediment would you most likely find fossils of marine life?
Near shore marine sediments.
Why does chalk contain so many fossils?
because chalk is made of marine fossils compressed together
Why are there marine fossils high in the Andes Mountains?
Use Google and do your Biology homework elsewhere. There are marine fossils high in the Andes Mountains because of layer shifting (which relates to the Law of Superposition), which means that over time, the layers push the fossils upwards. So it all ties into Layer Shifting and how the fossils work.

What does it tell scientists if they find marine life fossils in an area where there is not any water?
It would tell anyone that the rocks which contain the fossils were marine sediments deposited in a sea or ocean below sea level.

Marine fossils found at a mountain top
What does the presence of marine fossils tell you about the history of the Mojave desert?
The presence of marine fossils in the Mojave desert indicates that the region was once covered by sea millions of years ago. This suggests that the area has undergone significant geological changes, such as shifting land masses or changes in sea levels, leading to the formation of the desert landscape we see today.
