What are marine fossils?
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.
Explain how an index fossil can be used date rock.?
Index fossils are fossils of organisms that lived for a relatively short period of time but were widespread geographically. By identifying these index fossils in a particular layer of rock, scientists can determine the age of the rock and correlate it with other rock layers containing the same index fossils. This allows for the relative dating of rock layers based on the presence of specific index fossils.
How do fossils go to the mountain?
its part of the rock cycle
Why study geology?
To know all about rocks and fossils and their rock cycle.
Do fossils go through the rock cycle and if they do do they get melted?
Fossils can be buried and subjected to heat and pressure during the rock cycle, but they do not usually melt. Instead, the organic material in fossils can be transformed into carbon-rich substances like graphite or coal under high temperature and pressure conditions. In some cases, fossils may be destroyed or altered by extreme heat, but melting is not a common outcome.
How does erosion have anything to do with the rock cycle?
Erosion transports weathered material from all three rock types in the rock cycle to a point of deposition where it can lithify into sedimentary rock.
What type of rock do you fine fossils?
fossils are fine in metamorphic rock
Are there any fossils in wave rock?
yes there are fossils in wave rock
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock-?
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
Are fossils rock or bone?
I can say that fossils are bone
What is the term for the remains for the remains of things found in a rock?
