There was water there!!
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).
They provide evidence for animals that existed before and do not now. It shows proof of the different evolution. It also gives us comparisons of organisms we have today and where they possibly came from.
Fossil rich limestone is limestone with various sea creature fossils in it such as shells. It is organic and fine grained. It is sedimentary... Yea that's it :P
Among the possible environments that might hold fossils:There are fewer fossils from land creatures than marine creatures.There is no evidence of life living in lava or igneous rocks because we know for certain that a) Organisms cannot live in lava (plant matter burns, lack of oxygen deprives animals of life) b) fossil evidence is destroyed due to the melting and recrystallization of the lava.Most fossils are found in rocks from marine environments. Famously, graptolites are best preserved in black shale.You cannot say for certain that there were no land creatures, but because land fossils would be exposed to erosion and weathering. Most fossils are formed as a result of a tranquil marine environment allowing the dead organism to sink to the bottom of the water body, and are covered. In the absence of oxygen, the form is preserved and is fossilised.
The fossil seen in the opening scene of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is a prehistoric ammonite, a type of extinct marine mollusk that lived millions of years ago. Ammonites are known for their spiral-shaped shells, which are often preserved as fossils. The presence of this fossil sets the stage for the adventurous journey into the depths of the Earth in the movie.

The presence of marine fossils in mountain rock
Fossils found in rock at the top of mountains indicate that the rock was once at the bottom of a body of water because the fossils are typically of marine organisms that lived in water. The presence of marine fossils in mountain rock suggests that the rock was uplifted from below sea level to its current position at the mountain top over millions of years.
The presence of marine fossils within the limestone is the best observation that shows it was formed from ocean sediments. Marine fossils like shells, corals, or sea creatures preserved within the rock provide direct evidence of its marine origin. Additionally, the presence of ripple marks or cross-bedding in the limestone can also indicate its formation in a marine environment.
The occurrence of marine fossils in rock strata located high in terrestrial mountain ranges can be attributed to the process of tectonic plate movement. These fossils were originally deposited in seabeds and later uplifted as the plates collided and formed mountain ranges through processes like orogeny. This uplift may have occurred over millions of years, resulting in the marine fossils being exposed at high elevations today.
The presence of marine fossils in the Alps is due to the process of plate tectonics. The Alps were formed when the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided, pushing up the oceanic crust that originally contained marine fossils. This collision caused the rocks containing the fossils to be uplifted and exposed above sea level in the Alps.
No. Marine fossils are formed when marine creatures die and their bodies fall to the bottom of the sea, where they become covered in silt which eventually hardens into rock. If there ever was a great flood that could cover high mountains, any marine creatures that died would still fall to the bottom of the sea - not up to a mountain top. Nor would they form a scientifically correct geologically column on the mountain, with older species at the bottom of the column and more modern species at the top of the column. The presence of marine fossils on a mountain top merely shows that the mountain is of recent origin, having been uplifted by geological forces perhaps only a few million years ago. Prior to the uplift, the mountain formed part of the sea bed. Further, such a flood would not create fossils. Fossils most often form at the bottom of bodies of water were there is little oxygen and where they are repeatedly silted over and protected from mechanical damage. If a flood reached into the mountains, it certainly would not leave deep sediments there, so any marine creatures left behind would be eaten and scattered to the winds. And such fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, usually formed when layers of silt are laid down again and again over many years until they are crushed into rock by the pressure. A biblical flood could not create such rock. At best, it might leave a few pools of mud that might hold a few skeletons--but again, these would not become entombed in sandstone, nor fossilized.
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
The most marine fossils are found in sedimentary rock
fossils are something like a plant or bone preserved in rock, then when the preserved thing finally decays there is an impression left in the rock. marine fossils are marine animals, plants, or shells (basically anything in the water, hence marine) that are now fossils.
The presence of marine fossils in the Mojave desert indicates that the region was once covered by sea millions of years ago. This suggests that the area has undergone significant geological changes, such as shifting land masses or changes in sea levels, leading to the formation of the desert landscape we see today.
