What sedimentary rock often has fossils?
Paleontologists are looking for fossils in sedimentary rock.
What are the deepest fossils ever found and where were they discovered?
The deepest fossils ever found are microbial fossils discovered in rocks from the ocean floor, known as serpentinized peridotites, in the Samail Ophiolite in Oman.
How fossils can be used to determine the absolute and relative age of a sedimentary rock layer?
Perhaps by carbon dating and by comparing with the evolution and dominance of various organisms in the geological time scale.
Are mammal fossils found in rock?
Yes, mammal fossils can be found in rocks. They are typically found in sedimentary rocks, such as limestone or shale, where the remains of ancient animals have been preserved over time. These fossils provide important insights into the evolution and history of mammals.
How deep are fossils typically found in the ground?
Fossils are typically found buried deep in the ground, ranging from a few feet to hundreds of feet below the surface. The depth at which fossils are found can vary depending on factors such as the age of the fossil and the geological processes that have occurred in that area.
What are the five types of fossils that can be found in rock?
Five types of fossils found in rocks are petrified fossils (minerals replace organic matter), mold fossils (imprint of an organism), cast fossils (mold filled with minerals), carbon films (thin layer of carbon residue), and trace fossils (evidence of organism's activity).
What are 4 materials that fossils can be found in?
amber, petrified fossils, trace fossils, carbon films, molds, and cast.
What are five different type of fossils?
Imprint fossils, Mineralized fossils, frozen fossils, fossils in amber, and cast fossils.
What year was the fossils found?
The fossils were first found in 1983
Are fossils found in the desert?
Yes, fossils are found in deserts.
Are fossils found in deserts?
Yes, fossils are found in deserts.
Are fossils found?
fossils are found by scientists. some are even found in deserts
Is carbon-14 the only element that scientists use to find the absolute age of fossils?
Carbon 14 is not normally used to determine the age of fossils as it has such a short half-life. Most fossils found are well over 50,000 to 60,000 years old which is the maximum age at which Carbon 14 can be used. Potassium/Argon and Uranium/Lead are much more commonly used.
Where is the largest amount of inorganic carbon found?
The largest amount of inorganic carbon is found in the Earth's lithosphere, primarily in carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite. These rocks contain carbon in the form of carbonates, which are compounds made up of carbon, oxygen, and other elements.
What are carbonised fossils?
fossils that have carbon trapped inside of it, i think o-o
Why are fossils found in limestone and not shales?
Fossils are frequently found in shales.
What are tar fossils?
fossils found in tar
