Why can you not find fossils in other rocks?
Every rocks have formed in special environment some form by lava and some form in sea, raver and lakes so the rock which is formed inside water so they have fossils of specific environment and the rocks form by lava it was hot so there were no possibility to preserved living organism.
Are all fossils found in rock?
Limestone, shale, sandstone, and chert are the biggies when it comes to fossils.
Is Sahara some of the earliest human fossils have been found?
No, the Sahara desert is not where some of the earliest human fossils have been found. The earliest human fossils have been discovered in other parts of Africa, such as the Great Rift Valley and South Africa. The Sahara, being a desert, is not conducive to preserving fossils from this early period.
Do the oldest rocks on earth contain fossils?
Maybe. It depends on what kind of rock it is. If its a sedimentary rock and it's pretty old, then it will probably have some fossils in it. If its igneous the chances are not very likely i'd say.
If you uncovered fossil of tropical fish and palm trees what could you say about the environment at the fossils formed?
Based on the fossils of tropical fish and palm trees, it can be inferred that the environment where they formed was warm and tropical, likely indicating a climate with high temperatures and abundant sunlight. The presence of these fossils suggests a location that was once near a body of water, possibly a coastal region or a shallow sea.
What types of stones are most likely to contain fossils?
There are three basic types of rock; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed by volcanic action and don't contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks are formed, usually under water, by eroded material accumulating. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary rocks are changed by heating and/or pressure. From this, you can see that sedimentary rocks are the most likely to contain fossils, although metamorphic rocks also can contain fossils. Any sedimentary rock can contain fossils, but some make fossil hunting easier. Shales and mudstones are particularly good; chalk is pretty much entirely made of fossils - it's formed of skeletons of small organisms, but its difficult to see the individual fossils.

What does it mean when you stick your tongue out in pictures?
For some people, they usually are making funny pictures or just being silly.
Can fossils be found in quartz?
Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, where the conditions support the preservation of organic remains. Quartz itself is a mineral and does not contain fossils; however, it can occur in sedimentary rocks that also contain fossils. In some cases, fossils may be found encased in quartzite, which is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone rich in quartz. Overall, while quartz can be associated with fossil-bearing rocks, it does not directly contain fossils.
What is the type of skin dinosaurs have?
Some had scales, but more and more dinosaur fossils are being found with feathers.
Is Sahara some of the earliest human fossils have been found?
No, the Sahara desert is not where some of the earliest human fossils have been found. The earliest human fossils have been discovered in other parts of Africa, such as the Great Rift Valley and South Africa. The Sahara, being a desert, is not conducive to preserving fossils from this early period.
How are some islands in the ocean formed?
The Hawaiian Islands were formed and are still being formed right now by volcanic activity.
What are some pictures of a liquid?
Pictures of liquids can include water flowing in a river, oil being poured from a bottle, a glass of milk being poured, or raindrops falling from the sky.
Are the Himalayas made up of fossils?
No, but there are fossils in the Himalayas. The mountains of the Himalayas are partly formed from the sediments laid down at the bottom of an ocean. When India was moved into collision with Asia some of the intervening sediments were squeezed between the two and pushed onto the continent.
Where are some fossils found?
Some fossils are found in the sedimentary rocks - along with shells and sediment.
