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.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it unlikely that fossils would be found in igneous rock?
Fossils are unlikely to be found in igneous rock because igneous rock forms through the cooling and solidification of molten rock, which destroys any fossils that may have been present. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock layers where the remains of plants and animals can be preserved over time.

What type of sentence is The oldest fossils of any group of living things are simpler than the most recent fossils?
It is so because, the oldest fossils are obtained from the life forms which used to exist at that time in the oldest ages. At that time there was no so much changes in the world, the life forms being simpler. As the age of the earth advanced hence the forms of life also adapted or tried to adapt to the changes of the surrounding. The climate changed and so did the life forms. It was determined that in the older times, 1st life forms came in the water bodies and then from there the land forms developed. So as we see the later life forms are more complicated, thus the oldest fossils are more simpler compared to their most recent counterparts.
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.

What is the idea the fossils were the remnants of ancient forms of life?
yes they were the remenants of ancient forms of life because actually fossils were the remenants of dead organisms that had lived thousands of years ago. by studying of these fossils we can able to predict the environmental conditions of that period we can also knw the natural predatprs of these organisms and i think the fosils were the remenants of ancient forms life
