What else can I help you with?
When looking at a rock column where would you expect to find the oldest rock fossils?
In a rock column, the oldest rock fossils are typically found at the bottom layers. This is due to the principle of superposition, where sedimentary layers are deposited over time, with newer layers forming on top of older ones. Thus, as you move downward in the column, you encounter older geological formations and their associated fossils.
What type of rock do you fine fossils?
fossils are fine in metamorphic rock
What are Cast fossils mold fossils petrified fossils trace fossils carbon fossils and preserved fossils?
Cast fossils: Formed when minerals fill a mold left by a decayed organism. Mold fossils: Created when an organism's remains leave an impression in sediment that hardens into rock. Petrified fossils: Organic material replaced by minerals over time, forming a rock-like replica. Trace fossils: Evidence of an organism's activity (e.g., footprints or burrows) preserved in sedimentary rock. Carbon fossils: Organisms preserved in carbon-rich environments, like coal or oil deposits. Preserved fossils: Organisms remain intact or partially intact due to exceptional preservation conditions.
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 is the terms of remains of things found in rock?

Is quartz related to granite?
It is related in that quartz is a common rock forming mineral, and appears in granite along with many other forms of rock.

Dating technique involving compraring fossils in rock layers?
Relative dating-comparing fossils related to how old other fossils are in the same sample of rock. If the rock has been undisturbed, the oldest rock will be at the bottom, therefore, the oldest fossils will also be at the bottom. the youngest rock will be at the top, therefore, the youngest fossils will be at the top. Absolute Dating-When you can figure out through testing the exact age of the fossil
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.
