The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
Why are index fossils so important to geologists?
Index fossils are very important to geologists because they identify geological time periods. Index fossils are found within a specific layer of rock- So when one finds the age of the rock layer, that is also the age of the index fossil.
What are Fossils most ofen preserved in?
rock
Does sandstone preserve fossils?
No single rock preserves fossils, but they're found mainly in sedimentary rock beds due to the amount of pressure exerted as it layers over millions of years.
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.

Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
What is the rock that you are most likely to find fossils in?

What is the kind of rock that you are most likely to find fossils in?
Sedimentary rock
Would an evaporate rock be likely to have fossils in it?
Yes
If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layer its likely that the two rock layers?
If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layers, it's likely that the two rock layers ____.
What fossils are helpful to geologist because they reveal the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur?
Those types of fossils are called index fossils.
What sedimentary rock is most likely to have a fossil?
Coquina is the sedimentary rock most likely to contain visible fossils.
Which type of rock may contain fossil?
fossils almost allways occur in sedementary rock. this is the only way to get fossils without burning or cruching the fossil. you sometimes get fossils in igneous rock, but this is very rare. igneous rock fossils do not have any actual "fossils" in them, they are just impressions.
Would you be less likely to find fossils in metamorphic rock than in sedimentary rock?
Yes.
If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layers it's likely that the two rock layers form what?
If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layers, it is likely that the two rock layers are part of one continuous deposit.
