Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
Why do the lower levels of sedimentary rock on Earth show fossils of the simplest life forms?
The lower the level of a rock stratum, the older it is. Evolution is recorded in the sedimentary rock record, therefore, the simpler forms would show up in the oldest layers. The old life forms were usually very simple so the deeper down the sedimentary levels are, the older the fossils are their.
Are fossils made from rocks?
Fossils are made of rock yes. Most commonly this happens when a living organism (plant or animal) dies and its body is buried in mud before it has a chance to decay. The mud hardens into rock quickly, while the dead body slowly breaks down and leaves behind a hollow impression in the now solid rock around it. This kind of fossil is called a mold fossil, as the hollow remains empty like a jello mold. A cast fossil is when later other mineral rich water fills up the mold eventually turning the hollow into a solid rock of a different kind than the rock around it. Trace fossils are made in the same way but come from things made by a living organism such as footprints or tracks, burrows or nests, eggshells and droppings. These fossils are not of the animal itself but preserve evidence of the animal behavior.
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.
How fossils are made?
Fossils are made by the body of a plant or an animal, insect or other living being that has been trapped on or in a rock. Over hundreds, thousands, or millions of years, the organism disintegrates and is replaced by minerals.
Tar pits are also known to harbor?
whichof the following statements is true? a)Insect fossils often consist of insects trapped in amber b)The kind of rock in which we find fossils is sedimentary rock c)In 1999, a woolly mammoth fossil was found but biologists were unable to perform many studies on it d)Tar pits are known to never harbor fossils
Is it true that fossils occur only when an organism dies and the remains are trapped between layers of rock?
False
What rock is made of organic remains?
Fossils
How do you make fossils in rock?
You cant. Fossils are made when a volcano erupts and then when the magma cools, you can make a print in it.
Does conglomerate contain fossils?
Conglomerate can contain fossils. Fossils may be trapped within the rock during its formation when sediment accumulates and solidifies. The presence of fossils in conglomerate can provide insights into the age of the rock and the environmental conditions at the time of deposition.
Is limestoner man made?
No. limestone is a sedimentary rock, and can contain fossils
What is called when organisms are trapped in sedimentary rock?
when an organism is trapped in sedimentary rock, it will die and the organism will slowly decay, but it won't decay altogether and you get a fossil. the older the fossil is the lower down it will be in a sedimentary layer. that's called superposition...
Are there any fossils in wave rock?
yes there are fossils in wave rock
What type of rock do you fine fossils?
fossils are fine in metamorphic rock
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock-?
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
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.
