In which layer of rock shown below are the fossils the youngest?
The fossils are typically found in the uppermost layer of rock, as sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation of materials over time. Newer layers are deposited on top of older layers, meaning that the youngest fossils would be located in the most recent (top) strata. Therefore, the youngest fossils are in the layer that is highest in the sequence shown.
What group are fossils never found in?
Fossils are never found in Igneous rocks
What fossil is the youngest?
The youngest fossils are typically those of modern organisms, such as living species that have been preserved in sediments or ice. For example, fossils of recently extinct species like the woolly mammoth or the passenger pigeon can be considered among the youngest. Additionally, microbial life can also yield very recent fossils, with some dating back only a few thousand years. Ultimately, the definition of "youngest" can vary depending on the context and the specific organisms being studied.
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
Explain why the meekoceras fossils are considered to be one of the youngest fossils?
Meekoceras fossils are considered some of the youngest fossils due to their presence in strata that date to the Late Cretaceous period, specifically the Campanian stage, approximately 75 million years ago. This genus of ammonite is characterized by its distinctive coiled shell and is often found in marine sedimentary deposits, indicating its relatively recent emergence before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. Their fossil record helps paleontologists understand the biodiversity and evolutionary patterns of marine life during that time.

Fossils found in younger rocks?
The youngest rocks would be igneous, those created by cooling magma. Impossible to find a fossil there.
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.
Are fossils found in the desert?
Yes, fossils are found in deserts.
What year was the fossils found?
The fossils were first found in 1983
Are fossils found in deserts?
Yes, fossils are found in deserts.
Are fossils found?
fossils are found by scientists. some are even found in deserts
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
Why are fossils found in limestone and not shales?
Fossils are frequently found in shales.
What are tar fossils?
fossils found in tar
