Fossils fuels form when the dead remains of plants and animals compress with high pressure and heat in the course of millions of years.
What else can I help you with?
What sedimentary rock is most likely to have a fossil?
Coquina is the sedimentary rock most likely to contain visible fossils.
What type of rock is most likely to hold a fossil?
A fossil will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock because sedimentary rocks are made out of organic fragments such as rocks, shells, leaves, fossils, pebbles, and so on. A metamorphic rock would not hold a fossil because a metamorphic rock forms under great heat and pressure, and fossils would be destroyed under such conditions. An igneous rock would not hold a fossil because they form through the hardening of molten rock and fossils would be burned up and cremated in lava. Thus, fossils will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock.
Fossils are most likely found in what rock?
No. They are usually found in sedimentary rock.
What areas lends itself to the formation of fossils?
The Ocean bed is perhaps the best for formation of fossils since it is the most undisturbed. Other areas would include the ones with sedimentary rocks less than 500 million years old.
What type of rock might have fossils?
Igneous rock is formed by the cooling of magma - liquid or molten rock. Fossils won't be found in there for obvious reasons. We don't even bother to look for fossils in something like, say, basalt, which is an igneous rock. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on igneous rock.
Formation of fossils most likely results in?
Formation of fossils most likely results in the preservation of ancient organisms or their traces, such as footprints or burrows, in sedimentary rock. This process typically occurs when organisms are buried quickly by sediment, which protects them from decay and scavengers. Over time, minerals from the surrounding sediment can replace organic material, leading to the formation of fossilized remains. Fossils provide valuable insights into the history of life on Earth and past environmental conditions.
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
Why are you more likely to find fossils in metomorphic then sedimentay?
You are most likely to find fossils in sedimentary rock.
Where is the most common place to find ankylosaurus fossils?
Ankylosaurus fossils have been found in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana, the Lance Formation of Wyoming, and the Scollard Formation of Alberta, Canada. Where they are most common specifically I don't know.
What types of fossils are most likely to be found?
fish fossils and little animal fossils and also shells
Where can you most likely find a lot of fossils?
To find fossils, you have to go underground, and also, if you have defeated the elite four then you are more likely to find more fossils.
