Are fossils made from rocks?
Fossils are made of rock yes. Most commonly this happens when a living organism (plant or animal) dies and its body is buried in mud before it has a chance to decay. The mud hardens into rock quickly, while the dead body slowly breaks down and leaves behind a hollow impression in the now solid rock around it. This kind of fossil is called a mold fossil, as the hollow remains empty like a jello mold. A cast fossil is when later other mineral rich water fills up the mold eventually turning the hollow into a solid rock of a different kind than the rock around it. Trace fossils are made in the same way but come from things made by a living organism such as footprints or tracks, burrows or nests, eggshells and droppings. These fossils are not of the animal itself but preserve evidence of the animal behavior.
Does gneiss have fossils?
No, it's an igneous rock, made from cooling and consequently solidification of a magma. Animals (or any other organism) capable of leaving behind a fossil can not survive and do not live in a magma. Fossils can be found in sedimentary rocks or in metamorphic rocks (if the protolith, the original rock, was sedimentary). In metamorphic rocks, fossils are generally intensely deformed and hence difficult to recognise/identify.
Water stored behind a dam is an example of what type of energy?
Water stored behind a dam is an example of potential energy (energy of position). As the water flows through the dam, some of the water's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion), which is typically further converted into electrical energy through the use of spinning magnets and coils of wire.
What are facts about carbon films fossils?
Carbonaceous film fossils are traces of plants or animals preserved as a thin film of carbon. All living organisms contain carbon. If they are compressed by layers of sediment fine details of the organism may be preserved.

Fossils are depositions of dead animal imprints and/or bones. When an animal or plant dies, its skin rots away, leaving behind the bone or imprint.
