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.
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
Fossils would not likely be found in rock other than limestone, sandstone, and shale, or rock such as marble that has morphed from these sedimentary rocks. Fossils can basically be find in most Sedimentary rocks, but not in Igneous rocks because they are formed in volcanoes.
fossils found in tar
They are fossils and fossils are fossils er gars tyre true Joy God
Trace Fossils!
No, gneiss is a highly metamorphosed rock subjected to high pressured and heat. Although some gneisses were sediments before their alteration any traces of fossils would have been obliterated.
A Gneiss is a Metamorphic rock
Gneiss is foliated.
Gneiss is foliated and coarse grained
Gneiss is a rock, not a mineral.
No, gneiss is metamorphic.
Gneiss is a part of the earths lower crust. No matter where you drill you will eventually uncover gneiss.
No. Phyllite can metamorphose into schist and then into gneiss.
Yes, gneiss will split with a hammer.
No. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
No. Gneiss has alternating light and dark bands.
I am trying to find out what the other two types of rock besides gneiss form the Matterhorn. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock. That's a nice piece of gneiss!
