Where do fossils form best and why?
Near an active volcano orlake beds
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.
Give an example of evidence from land features that suported Wegener's idea of continental drift?
Evidence from land features fossils and ancient climate zones or changes. Many continents are neatly lined up with each other for example Africa's coast lines up with south America's east coast and north American coal beds line up with European coal beds. Many fossils of animals are found on continents that are now separated neither animal could swim that far.The animals are called Mesosaurus and Mesosaurus.Plant fossils are found in Antarctica and are tropical plants which means Antarctica was near the equator at one time. Hope this helped!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who reported finding beds of coal near the South Pole?
The first person who reported seeing fossils of leaves and stems of plants was Hartley Ferrar. The person who reported finding beds of coal near the South Pole was Ernest Shackleton.
What is unique about ash-fall fossils?
I got this: "Unlike most fossil deposits, which consist of scattered bones accumulated over extended periods of time, the ash bed contains mostly articulated remains with bones still joined together in the proper order." From here: http://www-museum.unl.edu/research/vertpaleo/ashfall.html
Why might ancient lake and sea beds be rich soures of fossils?
Ancient lake and sea beds are often rich sources of fossils because they provide stable environments where organic material can accumulate and be preserved over long periods. The sediments that settle in these bodies of water can bury remains quickly, protecting them from decay and disturbance. Additionally, the anoxic conditions often found in deep water can inhibit decomposition, allowing for better fossilization of plants and animals that lived in or near these aquatic environments. Over time, geological processes can expose these fossil-rich sediments for study.
What are fossil beds?
Fossil beds are geological formations where a concentration of fossils is preserved. These beds often result from the deposition of sediments over a long period of time, which helps protect and preserve the fossils within them. Scientists study fossil beds to understand past ecosystems and the evolution of organisms over time.

What abundance of fossils are found near past sources?
Fossils are often abundant near past sources such as ancient rivers, lakes, and ocean beds because these environments provide the ideal conditions for fossilization. Sedimentary rocks, which form in these habitats, can preserve remains of organisms over time. Additionally, areas with high biological productivity, like coral reefs or wetlands, tend to yield a diverse range of fossils due to the accumulation of organic material. These fossil-rich sites offer valuable insights into prehistoric life and environmental conditions.

Where in the world can you find fossils and sedimentary rock?
At the bottom of river beds and some times in deserts.
