Fossilisation is a rather rare occurrence. Organisms must 'fall' into conditions where decay does not occur. The soft tissues of organisms usually do not form fossils. Fossilisation is more likely in seas, lakes, swamps and caves, but unlikely on land. Geological processes, and human activity, are constantly moving and destroying the sedimentary rocks which contain fossils.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How are fossils uncovered?
By wind and water erosion, and activities of men, such as building.
Why are there so few frog fossils?
The reason frog fossils are hard to come by is because of the softness of their bones.When the earth, soil and rocks move underground, their bones are easily destroyed. Which means fossils cannot form as easily.But saying that, one of the most famous fossils ever recovered is one of a frog, as you can see its facial features, which is rare for a fossil in general, let alone a frog fossil. More about that on the national Geographic website (click here).
Where were fossils of carnotaurus sastrel recently found?
As I konow they lived in Patagonia, Argentina, so probbably fossils were found there.
Is it true Numerical age dates based on radioactivity are very important for studying Precambrian geologic history because fossils are rare or absent?
true?
What is the code for rare fossils for DSI?
1dr51sgf61
Why aren't most of the found fossils complete organisms?
because fossils are rare to find and in complete form even more rare only 10% or less out of 100% fossils have been found on earth
Do you dig to find fossils on Pokemon sapphire?
Yes. I found 3completely rare fossils by digging.
Fossils of fungi are rare due to fungis?
Their composition of soft materials.
Why is it rare to fine fossils in metamorphic rocks?
Fossils abound in sedimentary rock, you are in fact very likely to find them there.
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.
Why is it difficult to study the origin of birds based on fossils?
because the fossilization process rarely preserves soft tissues and the fossils that do are very rare.
What makes a good index?
fossils that are common and are found in rare places on earth
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.
What are in dark fossils in fossil fighters?
Dark fossils will have either dropping fossils, rare fossils (red fossils... 25 point bonus to your cleaning score), or jewels (if you're really lucky, you'll find a colossal diamond... the rock is very hard in requires a lot of hammer work).
Is the spinosaurus teeth comen?
No, because fossils are pretty rare including teeth. But if you live in a place where there was a lot of dinosaurs then it is very possible for you to find types of fossils.
Why are fossils of age greater than 3000 million years so rare?
Early organisms lacked skeletons and other hard structures that are most likely to be fossilized.
