What characteristics make areas along hillsides and layers of sedimentary rock well suited for fossil formation?
no exposure
What is the land formation of Table Mountain in Cape Town.?
A sedimentary rock formation
Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
How can you tell sedimentary rocks from others?
== == The age of a sedimentary rock formation can be estimated by comparing it to radiometrically dated rock formations that contain the same fossil organisms. Geologic time categories have been identified according to the radiometric dating of fossils and the fact that they appear only in certain time periods. Therefore, if you look at a rock formation and find a trilobite fossil that has been identified by previous dating techniques as Cambrian, you can be fairly certain that the formation you are looking at is also Cambrian.
What is a type of sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of minerals dissolved in a lake river or seawater?
sedimentary rock formed by the denudational process of various activity. the sediments in sea water may deposited and thus lead to the formation of sedimentary rock
How does cementing and compacting relate to sedimentary rock formation?
They convert the loose sediment to solid rock.
What is the best type of rock for fossil formation?
Sedimentary rocks (such as shale, sandstone, and limestone) are the best types of rock for fossil formation. These rocks are formed from layers of sediment that can preserve and protect fossils over time. Additionally, the fine-grained nature of sedimentary rocks allows for the detailed preservation of fossils.
What is a fossil formed in sedimentary rock leaving a hollow area is called?
The Answer to this is mold. It leaves a hollow space in the fossil so you can see the formation.
What characteristics make areas along hillsides and layers of sedimentary rock well suited for fossil formation?
no exposure
Is a sedimentary rock a fossil?
A fossil is any record of an organism preserved in rock, whether it be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Nearly all fossils are discovered in sedimentary rock.
What is lithification most closely related to?
sedimentary rock formation
What type of rock is a fossil?
A fossil is evidence of an organisms existence, not a type of rock. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.
Which is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
What fossil fuel is sometimes considered a type of organic sedimentary rock?
Coal is the fossil fuel sometimes considered a organic sedimentary rock.
How do sedimentary rock layers provide clues to a fossil age?
because fossils are in sedimentary rock
Is igneous or sedimentary rock more likely to contain fossil?
sedimentary
Why are fossils not found in other kinds of rock except sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is when a fossil is found inside it.
