Oil, Gas, and Coal were sedimentary rocks formed of mostly vegetation. The process that they are buried in usually involves lots of sand, typically coal oil and natural gas are found within sandstones or limestones.

In what type of sedimentary rock do you think might find fossils?

You are likely to find fossils in sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, shale, and sandstone. These rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediment layers over time, which can help preserve the remains of organisms within them.


Where Would You Most Likely Find A Fossil?

A fossil would most likely be found in sedimentary rocks


Do mountains contain natural resources minerals coal etc?

I don't think mountains do as such, but when the rocks are pushed up and weathered by rain, sun and wind, mineral deposits are often exposed and therefore easier to find and extract, than if they are buried underground.


What sedimentary rocks have plant fossils?

Although any sedimentary rock can contain plant fossils, the fossils themselves are likely to be coal. Coal itself is a sedimentary rock, and this is entirely composed of plant fossil, but for the physical evidence of the existence of a plant, you would be lucky to find an intact sample, as after the death of the plant it crumples and wilts, and then sedimentary processes crush it. It is estimated that for every metre of coal measure, there was 20 metres of plant material. Any rock can contain a plant fossil, but it is rare to find a plant fossil outside of a coal measure. An example of a plant fossil outside of a coal measure would be a bed of shale with a root-like structure in it. This could be in-filled with any soluble mineral. The history would be that the shale was uncovered by natural processes, it had a crack in it, a seed fell into the crack and the tree grew inside the crack, spreading its roots. Later, after the tree died and rotted away, the impression was in-filled and thus preserved.


What type rocks would you most likely find in a cave?

In caves, you are most likely to find sedimentary rocks, particularly limestone, which is formed from the accumulation of organic materials and minerals. Limestone is especially prone to chemical weathering, leading to the formation of karst landscapes with features like stalactites and stalagmites. Other types of rocks, such as dolostone and gypsum, may also be present in some cave systems.

Where can you find a brittle rock?

Slate rock, coal, and flint are all very brittle rocks, and can be found virtually anywhere in the USA, but google any of these rocks (Slate would be most likely to find, especially in the south), and find your rock of preference, and if its in your area.

Why are you likely to find natural gas and oil deposits together but less likely to find coal deposits at the same location?

Natural gas and oil are formed from organic matter that decomposes under high pressure and temperature, typically found in deep underground environments. Coal, on the other hand, is formed from the remains of plants that accumulate in swampy areas and undergo a different type of decomposition process. Therefore, the conditions that lead to the formation of natural gas and oil are more conducive to each other compared to the conditions that form coal.


Which family of rocks an you find organic components?

Some sedimentary rocks are classified as biogenic or biological in nature. An example would be bituminous coal.
