What else can I help you with?
In which period did the first multicellular organisms begin to leave fossils?
around the 1980s
What are Cast fossils mold fossils petrified fossils trace fossils carbon fossils and preserved fossils?
Cast fossils: Formed when minerals fill a mold left by a decayed organism. Mold fossils: Created when an organism's remains leave an impression in sediment that hardens into rock. Petrified fossils: Organic material replaced by minerals over time, forming a rock-like replica. Trace fossils: Evidence of an organism's activity (e.g., footprints or burrows) preserved in sedimentary rock. Carbon fossils: Organisms preserved in carbon-rich environments, like coal or oil deposits. Preserved fossils: Organisms remain intact or partially intact due to exceptional preservation conditions.
What types of fossils forms wheather there are microbes are present or not?
Fossils can form even if microbes are not present. Microbial fossils, such as stromatolites, can form when microbes are present and leave behind structures or chemical signatures that are preserved in the rock record. Non-microbial fossils can include the preserved remains of plants, animals, or other organisms from ancient environments.
One kind of fossil forms from the body parts of organisms. What is another kind of fossil?
Another kind of fossil is a mold or cast fossil, which forms when an organism's remains decay and leave an impression in the surrounding sediment that is later filled with minerals. Another type is a trace fossil, which is evidence of an organism's activity, like footprints or burrows, preserved in rock.
Why cant you find many single-celled organisms as fossils in rocks?
Single-celled organisms lack hard parts like shells or skeletons, making it difficult for them to leave behind fossils. Soft-bodied organisms are less likely to be preserved in the fossil record compared to organisms with hard parts, like shells or bones. Additionally, single-celled organisms are more likely to be broken down and decomposed before they have a chance to fossilize.

Why have protists been harder to study than other organisms?
Many protists do not leave fossils:)
Did all once living-organisms leave behind fossils for example the mammoth?
Not sure. If they didn't leave a fossil how would we know that they existed.

What three hard structures do organisms that are more likely to become fossils have?
The most common fossils found are from bones, teeth and claws. Soft tissue such as skin, muscle and internal organs rarely become fossils because they generally decay far to quickly for the normal processes of fossilization.
Do most animals and plants that once lived on Earth have left fossil evidence?
No, most animals and plants that have lived on Earth do not leave fossil evidence. Fossilization is a rare process that only occurs under specific conditions, so many organisms decompose before they can become fossils. This is why the fossil record is incomplete and biased towards certain types of organisms.
What find of animals leave trace fossils?
dinosaurs and other animals
What are plant fossils?
Fossils are the traces of plants or animals that have been preserved by natural resources inside Earth's crust layer. For example, detectives attending a crime scene look for mostly fingerprints. The criminals usually leave evidence that some sort of event occurred. When we mention animals, they also leave behind clues when they become extinct. What we call these clues are fossils, obviously. If you want to know what kinds of fossils there are, well, just listen to me. Two kinds of fossils found in rocks, usually sedimentary, are molds and casts. Molds are the "stuff" that's formed when an organism is buried by sediments and the sediments eventually transition into the sedimentary rock stage. The animal usually leaves a "cavity" in the rock. This cavity is what we call a mold. Most of the time, mold either fills with mud or sand. Back to your question: Well, a fossilized plant is found in individual parts. These fossils could be leaves, dead or left-over flowers, or anything else of that particular sort. Usually, a leaf is a common example of a fossilized plant.
When do organisms leave a population?
Emigrate
