Why are fossils not found in other kinds of rock except sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock is when a fossil is found inside it.


What kinds of questions can the fossils record help us to answer?

Fossil records can help us understand past environments, evolution of species, extinction events, and the history of life on Earth. They can also provide insights into ancient ecosystems, behaviors of organisms, and the impact of environmental changes on life forms.


What three features must a fossil have a order to be an index fossil?

* the organism must be common in rocks from most of the world *the organism must have lived for only a geologically short period of time( a few million years to a few hundred million years) *the organism must be easy to identify.(trilobites and ammonites are 2 kinds of organisms that are used as index fossils).


How many kinds of fossil fuels are there?

There are three main types of fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago, undergoing geological processes to become the energy sources we use today.


What inferences can be made based on patterns observed in the fossil record?

Fossils are any evidences of ancient life preserved in stone or other material. Fossils can include molds, casts, defecation material, stomach stones, bones, footprints, trails and burrows. Fossils can be preserved in sedimentary rock (and rarely metamorphic and igneous rock), tar pits, and amber, and are usually the result of the organism being covered rapidly upon death. A rock with a fossil on it can indicate the rock's relative age, the type of organism that was fossilized, the possible climate at the time of fossilization, possibly the distance the rock fossil has traveled, the composition of the rock and depositional environment, and many more things depending on the type of fossil. Fossils records are invaluable in helping us determine what kinds of plants an animals were living in proximity to each other (things buried together likely lived in the same general area). Depending on the conditions under which the specimens were buried we might even get an fossilized samples of their skin structure, diet (plants and/or creatures in the stomach), reproduction (eggs or embryos), etc.

Who created the first shark?

Actually, sharks undoubtedly evolved from prehistoric sea-based creatures that were predators and had sharp teeth. Just as we know about dinosaurs, there is also fossil evidence that shows the existence of these sea creatures, about 200 million years ago. Gradually, these creatures evolved into what we know today as the various kinds of sharks. But it is unlikely we will know where the very first one of these creatures came from or where it lived.

How do you know when the different kinds of organisms first appeared on earth?

Scientists use a combination of fossil evidence, geological layers, and molecular dating techniques to estimate when different kinds of organisms first appeared on Earth. The fossil record provides insights into the past diversity of life, while molecular dating helps establish evolutionary timelines based on genetic differences among living organisms.


How many different kinds of fossils are there?

Anything can become a fossil, so there can be as many kinds of fossils around. Any living being end up being a fossil, even a foot print, leaves, etc.
