Two conditions necessary for fossils to form?
well in your body there are made up of fossils as fossils are formed in hot places and your body is very warm
What are the best fossils?
There are rarer fossils, as in fossils that belong to creatures that haven't been discovered yet or are very uncommon, but no "best" fossil.
Is it hard to find fossils?
It can be very hard to find fossils if you are looking in the wrong place. However it can be almost impossible to NOT find fossils if you are looking in the right place (there are places where fossils are covering the ground and falling out of eroding rock outcrops, so that everywhere you walk you cannot avoid stepping on them).
Precambrian are fossils yes or no?
Precambrian is a geologic period that extends as back as 4.500 million years ago. Fossils are very rare from that period of time.

Does lamprophyre form fossils?
A lamprophyre is a type of ultramafic intrusive igneous rock. It is very rare for fossils to be formed in igneous rocks (and they usually only form as mold fossils in extrusive deposits). As such fossils will not form in lamprophyres.
What does the rock cycle have anything to do with fossils?
Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are formed by layers of different things compacting very tightly. These layers can have a lot of different things in them, like fossils. So, sedimentary rocks are partially made up of fossils.
Do all rocks form fossils?
No, fossils are actually very difficult to find. The majority of fossils found are marine invertebrates. They are usually found in sedimentary rock. However, there is plenty of sedimentary rock that contains no fossils at all.
Why have so few fossil dinosaurs been found in Antarctica?
The biggest problem with finding fossils in Antarctica is that everything is covered in ice, making it hard for archaeologists to excavate and find fossils.

Do the oldest rocks on earth contain fossils?
Maybe. It depends on what kind of rock it is. If its a sedimentary rock and it's pretty old, then it will probably have some fossils in it. If its igneous the chances are not very likely i'd say.
Why have so few dinosaur fossils been in Antarctica?
To preserve a fossil you need very special conditions during a long time period. That is why there are only few places in which you can find fossils. Besides, is not easy doing this type of research in Antarctica. Do you imagine the cold?
What is very hard sedimentary rock formed inside limestone called?
chert.
In what type of rock do you find a fossil?
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms from magma; no chance for fossils to form there. Metamorphic rocks are other rock types that are changed by heat and pressure; their transformation and mineral reorganization causes very few fossils to be found there. Sedimentary rock can be formed from the accumulation of sediments and are often formed near ancient shores, basins, and lake beds. If an organism dies and is covered by sediments before being rotted or eaten by predatory organisms, it could eventually become part of the sedimentary layer that becomes rock.
