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.
In what type of rack do most fossils form?
Most fossils form in sedimentary rock, which is formed from layers of sediment that build up over time. This process preserves the remains of plants and animals, creating fossils.
What fossils are most likely to be found in rocks?
Fossils of marine animals like ammonites, trilobites, and brachiopods are commonly found in sedimentary rocks. Plant fossils such as leaves, stems, and pollen are typically found in rocks as well. Fossils of dinosaurs and other land-dwelling animals are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks that were formed in terrestrial environments.
What kingdom is fossils?
Fossils belong to the kingdom Animalia, which includes all animals both living and extinct. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past.
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.
Why do most plants and animals do not become fossils?
why do you think many animals and plants did not become fossils
Where did most animals live that most fossils came from?
Europe
What kind of organisms do the earliest fossils represent?
The earliest fossils represent plants.
What types of fossils most likely teach us about animals behaviours?
The ones full of dead animals
What can animals not be preserved in as fossils?
Animals are not preserved as fossils. Fossils are imprints of the organism where the body has been replaced by rock minerals. They are most usually found in sedimentary rocks, occasionally in metamorphic rock but never in igneous rock.
Are fern fossils considered animals?
Fern fossils come from ferns. Ferns are plants, not animals. Hence, fern fossils are plants, not animals.
Are all fossil animals dinosaurs?
No not all fossils animals are dinosaurs. They still are snail fossils and other fossils.
Why do plants and animals do not become fossils?
why do you think many animals and plants did not become fossils
Why do the La Brea Tar Pit fossils represent a local community of plants and animals that lived in Southern California during the Ice Age?
because, unlike groups of fossils in most sedimentary rocks, the asphalt traps provide a reliable record of animal and plant communities living in one place. --A

What is the most important thing about fossils?
They are a window into the past and a way for humans to understand how they and animals have evolved
