Are all fossils found in rock?
Limestone, shale, sandstone, and chert are the biggies when it comes to fossils.
How were jellyfish fossils found?
Jellyfish fossils have been found in sedimentary rock formations around the world, generally in areas where ancient seas once existed. The soft-bodied nature of jellyfish makes their preservation as fossils rare, but in some cases, the impressions left by their bodies in sediment have been preserved and fossilized over millions of years. Scientists use careful excavation techniques to uncover and study these fossils to learn more about the evolution and history of jellyfish.
What rock type in which you might find fossils?
Sedimentary rocks are the type in which fossils are most commonly found. This is because they are formed from layers of sediment, which can entomb and preserve the remains of plants and animals over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks where fossils can be found include limestone, sandstone, and shale.
What are some fossils of organisms in some meteorites?
No such thing has ever been found to exist. No fossils have been proven to have been found in meteorites. Some scientists claim that they have found tiny fossils in meteorites from Mars but they can not prove the formations in the rocks aren't naturally occurring.
What three kinds of information can geologist gather from a study of fossils?
The three kinds of information can geologists gather from a study of fossils is amber fossil, trace fossil, and the carbon film. Wait a second, no that's not right. Those are just three kinds of fossils. Those aren't three kinds of information.1. Fossils tell scientists the types and sizes of animals that lived in the distant past;2. Tests made on fossils tell scientists approximately how long ago they lived;3. The types of materials in which fossils are found tell scientists the area where the fossil first died, the cooling rates of some different materials, and the times of lava flows, as well as other items of information;4. Comparing different fossils of the same type, from different areas, tells scientists the times of certain geologic events, such as an ice age, or a volcanic eruption;5. The layers of rock (or soil) in which fossils are found can tell scientists some of the geologic history of the geographical area in which the fossil was found. For example, sometimes seashell fossils are found in the rock of high mountains! That can only mean that the high mountain was once on the floor of an ocean or river. Over time, plate movement, volcanic eruption, and earthquakes have moved the old ocean floor (or river bottom) 'way up to the top of a mountainThere you go.

What are the deepest fossils ever found and where were they discovered?
The deepest fossils ever found are microbial fossils discovered in rocks from the ocean floor, known as serpentinized peridotites, in the Samail Ophiolite in Oman.

What is two ways scientists can date fossils found in earth?
Stratigraphy, the relative positon of fossils in a sediment bed, is a common method. Assuming the beds lie in their natural position.Dating by using radioactive decay is another method used mainly for sub-fossil material such as archaeological artifacts; or for materials of geological age.
What are some features of the ocean floor that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
they found fossils
