well we could debate the answer that the process of fossilisation is a long one (like mine) or we could debate that the proccess of fossilisation is short (probably like yours) but i think you should just give up with your entire life like i did and dont worry it all ended up good for me
What else can I help you with?
Why is sediments important in the process of fossilisation?
Sediments play a crucial role in the fossilization process by covering and protecting the remains of an organism from physical and biological disturbances. The sediment helps to create a stable environment for fossil formation by preventing decay and protecting the remains from scavengers. Over time, the weight of the sediment compacts the organic material, aiding in its transformation into a fossil.
Are fossils Decomposers?
No, fossils are dead, and have no biological action. Prior to fossilisation, an organism may have itself been partially broken down by decomposers, and the decomposing agents may themselves be fossilised (fossil worms, beetles and fungi are such examples).
Why should fossil sites be preserved?
The word fossil literally means something dug up from the ground. Preservation as a fossil is a very unusual occurrence; if every dead animal was fossilised we would long ago have been buried by them. Recycling is what ecosystems are all about, that way all the elements and minerals are available for new animals and plants. So how are fossils preserved. Fossilisation is a very complex process; it can take many different forms and we don't understand everything about it. The thing that has to be ensured for every fossil is that the recycling process is interrupted at some stage - precisely when can vary. The way this is achieved is by burying the remains of the animal. The burial process may be what kills the animal, or at the other extreme may only happen long after the animal is dead and its remains have been broken and scattered. Mere burial, however does not ensure an animal's fossilisation. Subterranean conditions must also be favourable; the activity of worms or bacterial action can destroy bone and water in the sediment can disintegrate it. Providing the bone survives all this it is still not plain sailing. The sediment in which it is buried could be eroded before the fossil is found or it could be buried so deep or folded so strongly that the rock is metamorphosed and the organic remains destroyed. Even if the Mesozoic sediments in which the fossils are are at or near the surface now it does not mean that the fossil will ever be discovered and excavated.
How is the fossil record like a jigsaw puzzle?
Because we have quite a lot of evidence of prehistoric life and we just need to put together what we have and know like a jigsaw to make a clear picture. However many pieces are still missing as fossilisation is quite rare and many species of life will not have been preserved. Pieces are also missing because we have not found all of the fossils on earth yet as we have not had the technology and time to yet. The fossil record is also like a jigsaw in the way that one little piece of evidence can just put everything together and make things much more clear.
What type of wood burns the longest?
Pine burns pretty good. Just use dry wood. Also it is better to have more smaller peices of wood rather than large logs as smaller peices have greater surface are to volume ratio so they burn faster and therefore hotter. However the fire will not last as long.
How does fossilisation protect somthing?
During fossilisation, living cells are replaced by minerals. This preserves the physical appearance (but not the original organism)
Name for Science of Fossilisation?
taphonomy
Which method of fossilation was used by ancient civilizations?
Fossilisation is a natural process over huge amounts of time. Civilizations do not use any method of fossilisation.
What is permineralisation?
fossilisation des parties organiques des organismesen substances minerales
The process of changing the hard parts of the remains of animal or plant with minerals?
Fossilisation; Fossilization for Americans.
What is the meaning of unaltered remains?
Unaltered Remains refers to a wide range of types of fossilisation of living organisms. It includes fossilisation by freezing, entrapment in amber, desiccation (mummification) and chemical preservation the remains are largely unaltered, although some of the detail or quality may have been lost.

What is it called when tissues are replace by harder minerals?
Ossification - tissue turns to bone Fossilisation - tissue turns to stone
How do you know about these plants and animals that appeared and disappeared before humans were on earth?
plant and animal fossilisation... so yes fossils...
Why do you think the fossil record jumps from one stage to the next?
Because fossilisation is an imperfect process and many things are not preserved. This results in what appears to be jumps, when no such jump ever occurred.
What is fossilisation in fourth grade words?
1: Animal dies 2: Buried with sand 3: Slowly rots away 4: Minerals drip into the hole it leaves 5: These minerals become solid and this is a fossil.
What are 10 things crude oil can be made from?
Crude oil can be refined into products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, propane, asphalt, lubricants, waxes, petrochemicals (used in plastics, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics), and solvents.
