What is The type of rock formed by fine particles such as mud and sand that contains many fossils is?
Sedimentary - but itdoes not necessarily contain fossils to be sedimentary.
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 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.
What fossils formed when an organism dissolves and leaves an empty space in a rock are called?
Voids left behind by once present fossils are called 'trace fossils'.
What is a geological column?
An ideal sequence of rock layers that contains all the known fossils and rock.
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of?
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of sedimentation.
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.
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result?
The rock was most likely formed through the process of sedimentation, where layers of sediment accumulated over time and eventually turned into rock through compaction and cementation. The fossil seashells in the rock suggest that the area was once covered by a sea or ocean where these organisms lived and were preserved in the sediment as it solidified into rock.

What type of rock must the rock layer be if it contains clam fossils?
It would necessarily be sedimentary rock, formed in a saltwater or freshwater environment, depending on the type of clam.
What type of rock is the only rock that contains fossils?
sedimentary
A limestone that contains fossils would be classified as what type of sedimentary rock?
A limestone that contains fossils would be classified as an organic sedimentary rock because the fossils are of biological origin.
Which is a biochemical rock that contains fossils?
Limestone is a biochemical rock that can contain fossils. It is formed from the accumulation of calcite or aragonite shells or skeletal fragments of organisms such as corals, foraminifera, and mollusks. Over time, these remains can be compressed and preserved in the rock.
How are rock fossils formed?
we dont know?
What kind of rock are fossils formed in?
sedimentary rocks.
