What else can I help you with?
In the Grand Canyons the oldest fossils are found where?
The oldest fossils in the Grand Canyon are found in the layers of sedimentary rock near the bottom of the canyon, dating back around 1.2 billion years ago. These fossils provide insights into early life forms and the geological history of the region.
Do the oldest rocks on earth contain fossils?
Maybe. It depends on what kind of rock it is. If its a sedimentary rock and it's pretty old, then it will probably have some fossils in it. If its igneous the chances are not very likely i'd say.
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
What is the terms of remains of things found in rock?
They are known as fossils.
What kind of rock are fossils found in?
Igneous rocks.
In the grand canyon the oldest fossils are found?
in the lowest layers of rock
Where can you find the oldest fossils in sedimentary rock layers?
The oldest fossils are typically found in the deepest sedimentary rock layers, which are located at the bottom of a rock formation. This principle is known as the law of superposition in geology, where older rock layers are found beneath younger ones.
Where would the oldest fossils be found in the rock layers?
The furthest down of all top layers.
In the Grand Canyons the oldest fossils are found where?
The oldest fossils in the Grand Canyon are found in the layers of sedimentary rock near the bottom of the canyon, dating back around 1.2 billion years ago. These fossils provide insights into early life forms and the geological history of the region.
Why are the oldest fossils often found very deep in the ground?
because over time the earth bilds up covering the rock
Dating technique involving compraring fossils in rock layers?
Relative dating-comparing fossils related to how old other fossils are in the same sample of rock. If the rock has been undisturbed, the oldest rock will be at the bottom, therefore, the oldest fossils will also be at the bottom. the youngest rock will be at the top, therefore, the youngest fossils will be at the top. Absolute Dating-When you can figure out through testing the exact age of the fossil
When there are fossils in rock layers which are considered the oldest?
the ones closest to the bottom
Do the oldest rocks on earth contain fossils?

What is the term for the remains for the remains of things found in a rock?
Fossils
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
What is the Principle is based on the fossils found in the different layers of sediment formations?
The principle is known as the Law of Superposition. It states that in undisturbed layers of sedimentary rock, the oldest rocks are found at the bottom and the youngest rocks are found at the top. This principle helps geologists determine the relative ages of rock layers and the fossils they contain.
What rock are most marine animal fossils in?
The most marine fossils are found in sedimentary rock
