Fossils from the Jurassic period and before abound in Alberta's badlands. Large dinosaurs are found often with fossils be nearly complete.
Fossils created when minerals gradually replace the organic material of an organism, preserving its shape and structure, are called petrified fossils or replacement fossils. Over time, the original material is dissolved, and minerals fill the space, creating a fossilized replica of the organism.
Geologists use fossils to determine the age of rocks through a process called biostratigraphy. They identify the specific group of fossils present in the rock layer, known as index fossils, that have a known age range. By comparing the index fossils to a geological time scale, geologists can estimate the age of the rock layer.
Fossils that look like an actual body part is called a body fossils.Fossils fall into 2 categories.Body fossils are the remains or representation of parts of the body of the animal or plant. These include bones, soft tissue, claws, teeth, wood, eggs, leaves etc.Trace fossils on the other hand is any indication of life that is not part of the animal. Footprints, coprolites, nests, teeth marks, burrows, worm casts etc are all trace fossils.
They aren't fragile but they are brittle. Fossils are mineral crystalisations of decayed organic matter. Basically they are rocks.
Fosssils are the preserved remains or traces of animals , plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record.Types:-mold fossils (a fossilized impression made in the substrate - a negative image of the organism)cast fossils (formed when a mold is filled in)trace fossils = ichnofossils (fossilized nests, gastroliths, burrows, footprints, etc.)true form fossils (fossils of the actual animal or animal part).
