What kind of habitat that is most likely to be rich in fossils?

According to experts, the best environments to search for fossils are places near rocks or deserts. Most fossils are preserved in these areas.


Would you be less likely to find fossils in metamorphic rock than a sedimentary rock?

Metamorphic rock can contain fossils, but since these rocks form under intense heat and pressure where stone flows something like taffy, the fossils will be highly degraded and distorted.Sedimentary rock forms when layers of silt are Why_are_you_less_likely_to_find_fossils_in_metamorphic_rock_than_sedimentary_rockon the bottom of a body of water. When conditions are right, layers form quickly and are not disturbed and little oxygen is present, dead creatures that fall on that bottom can become entombed in preserved at the layers are increasingly compressed, eventually cementing into rock.


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).


Where are most the fossil preserved?

The best place to find dinosaur fossils in the world is in the United States. Another place to find dinosaur fossils is in Alberta, Canada. The best place to look for fossils is somewhere where there aren't many plants/trees, like a desert.


Why are missing link fossils a powerful evidence for Creation and not for evolution?

Some people who reject the biblical account of Creation think that living things went though gradual changes (biological evolution) from one kind to another. In order to support their beliefs, they find fossils that, when lined up, seem to show a continuous change from simpler organisms to a much larger and more complex one. But fossils for the most part do not show gradual changes from one kind to another. They are clearly one kind or another not something in between. For example; fossils of mice exist and fossils of bats exist, but no fossils of half-winged, mouse like creatures have been found.
