What are remains of organisms in tar amber or ice?
A. carbonaceous filmsB.molds and castsC.petrified remainsD.original fossil remains
Fossils would include skeletons shells seeds tracks all of these?
These are known as trace fossils. Trace fossils are more technically known as ichnofossils.Footprints are more correctly described as repichnia, burrows as domichnia and fossilised dung or dropings are known as coprolites.Please see the related links for more information.the answer is trace fossils.
What are the most common types of fossils found in Florida?
The most common four types of fossils are:mold fossils(a fossilized impression made in the substrate - a negative image of the organism)cast fossils(formed when a mold is filled in)trace fossils = ichnofossils(fossilized nests, gastroliths, burrows, footprints, etc.)true form fossils(fossils of the actual animal or animal part).
Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by ocean?
The same rocks and minerals from the same batch, dinosaur fossils dating back to the same time periods, natural landforms and structures can be found on completely separate continents. This evidence supports the Plate Techtonics and Continental Drift theories.
Are fossil dead or alive?
No. At one time yes. It must be very old. Definition of fossil per www.dictionary.com: any remains, impression, or trace of a living thing of a former geologic age, as a skeleton, footprint, etc.

What can a scientist infer by looking at fossils footprints?
what type of dinosaur it is and its weight
What is the study of footprints called?
The study of footprints is called ichnology. Ichnologists analyze trace fossils, including footprints, to understand the behavior of extinct animals and track their movements.
What are 5 kinds of fossils?
Petrified fossils: where organic material is replaced by minerals. Mold fossils: where the shape of an organism is preserved in sediment. Cast fossils: formed when a mold fills with minerals, creating a replica of the organism. Trace fossils: records of biological activity, like footprints or burrows. Amber fossils: organisms preserved in hardened tree resin.
What are different types of fossills?
Mold fossils- an empty space is left when an organism is buried in sedimentary and it decays.Cast fossils- Minerals in rocks fill space left by a decayed organism.(replica)Trace fossils- Markings left by an animal. (footprints, trail, or burrow)Petrified fossils- Minerals penetrate and replace all or part of an organism.Imprint fossils
What makes up Fossils make up what?
Dung, footprints, plants, and other tracks
Describe what fossils are and list three different kinds?
Fosssils are the preserved remains or traces of animals , plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record.Types:-mold fossils (a fossilized impression made in the substrate - a negative image of the organism)cast fossils (formed when a mold is filled in)trace fossils = ichnofossils (fossilized nests, gastroliths, burrows, footprints, etc.)true form fossils (fossils of the actual animal or animal part).
