What type of rocks have fossils found in them?
Fossils are nearly always found in some type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock which very commonly contains fossils, as is coal.
What can you find within layers of sedimentary rock?
As sedimentary rock is deposited at over time, you can find fossils in it.
Do sedimantry rocks have seashells?
Not necessarily. While nearly all fossils, including seashells, are found in sedimentary rock, most sedimentary rock does not contain fossils. Even then, those fossils will not necessarily be seashells. If you do find a rock with seashells, though, you can be pretty much guaranteed that it is sedimentary.
Why are there no fossils in a intrusion?
If you mean an intrusion via magma/lava, then fossils would not exist due to the fact that most fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, not IGNEOUS (magma/lava rocks).
What does the discovery of fish fossils in sedimentary rock indicate?
This indicates that the layers of sedimentary rock that constain fish fossils (or any other marine fossil for that matter) indicate there once was a body of water lying over that are of the earth whether it being an ocean or just simply a lake.
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
What kind of rock is the site of most fossils?
Sedimentary rock is the most common type of rock that contains fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains of plants and animals are buried in sediment, which hardens into sedimentary rock over time, preserving the fossilized organisms.
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
What is a sentence for sedimentary rock?
Example sentences: Fossils are often found in sedimentary rock. It is easier to erode sedimentary rock than other forms of 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 type of rocks have fossils found in them?
Fossils are nearly always found in some type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock which very commonly contains fossils, as is coal.
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
What are the types of rock that contain fossils?
Sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, sandstone, and shale, are the most common types of rocks that contain fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains of plants and animals are buried in sediment and eventually become preserved in rock over time. Igneous and metamorphic rocks typically do not contain fossils.
Why are fossils colored?
Fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock derives its color from a variety of sources, but usually from the minerals which compose the rock.
Most fossils are found and what type of rock?
Sedimentary
Fossils are most likely found in what rock?
No. They are usually found in sedimentary rock.
What sedimentary rock often has fossils?
Paleontologists are looking for fossils in sedimentary rock.
