It largely depends on the fossil. Some dinosaur fossils (triceratops) are very common, and we know exactly what it's skeletal physiology was. Some dinosaurs are extrapolated as to size, shape and appearance by virtue of one bone, or in extreme cases, one tooth, because that's all scientists have. Some fossils are extremely common, such as trilobites, which roamed the shallow ocean bottoms in huge herds 500 million to 250 million years ago - you can buy authentic trilobite fossils in many gift and curio shops. As with so many things: It just depends!
What else can I help you with?
Fossils of fungi are rare due to fungis?
Their composition of soft materials.
Is sedimentary rock the only kind of rock that has fossils?
Not quite; occasionally fossil traces can be seen in marble - which is a metamorphic rock.
How are amber fossils the same from regular fossils?
Amber fossils are preserved in hardened tree resin, while regular fossils are preserved in rocks. Both types of fossils capture the remains of ancient organisms, providing important insights into the past. Amber fossils often preserve delicate details and even soft tissues due to the protective properties of the resin, making them particularly valuable for scientific study.
Why are bird fossils rare?
Bird fossils are rare because birds have hollow bones which are fragile and easily destroyed after their death. Additionally, birds are often scavenged by other animals soon after they die, further reducing the chances of their remains being preserved and fossilized. Finally, birds tend to live in environments that are not conducive to fossilization, such as forests or open water.
Are fossils of today's plants and animals being preserved?
Yes, fossils of today's plants and animals are being preserved. Fossils can form under the right conditions, such as in sedimentary rock or tar pits, and represent a snapshot of ancient life that can help scientists understand past ecosystems and evolutionary processes. However, the process of fossilization is rare and not all organisms become preserved as fossils.
How are fossils uncovered?
By wind and water erosion, and activities of men, such as building.
What is the code for rare fossils for DSI?

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

Value of fossilized elimia tenera freshwater snails Found a ton?
The fossils of elimia tenera are not a rare fossil. They are quite abundant. The average value of them is between $2-4 each.
Is a print fossil of a vertebrate rare?
Yes, print fossils of vertebrates are quite rare. Unlike the more common body fossils that preserve bones or teeth, print fossils, which capture the impressions of skin, scales, or other soft tissues, require specific conditions for preservation. These impressions are often more susceptible to erosion and destruction over time, making them less frequently found in the fossil record. As a result, when print fossils of vertebrates are discovered, they can provide valuable insights into the biology and behavior of these ancient animals.
I mine for ages but cant find fossils what on shall i do on Pokemon diamond. i always mine and i find loads of orbs and stones but never any fossils please help on this question. thanks?
Just keep trying, the first time you look for fossils, they are quite rare, but once you have found a fossil for the first time, they appear more commonly.

What can a scientist learn from fossils?
They can learn about evolution, as many living fossils have changed quite a bit over time.
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.
Are Joint Sessions of Congress common or rare?
