Which dinosaur has the least amount of fossils found?
There are many dinosaur species with very few fossils found, making it difficult to determine which has the absolute least. Some examples include the Spinosaurus and Irritator, which are known from limited fossil discoveries.
In what type of rock do you find a fossil?
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms from magma; no chance for fossils to form there. Metamorphic rocks are other rock types that are changed by heat and pressure; their transformation and mineral reorganization causes very few fossils to be found there. Sedimentary rock can be formed from the accumulation of sediments and are often formed near ancient shores, basins, and lake beds. If an organism dies and is covered by sediments before being rotted or eaten by predatory organisms, it could eventually become part of the sedimentary layer that becomes rock.
Where are the youngest fossils found?
The youngest fossils are typically found in recent sedimentary rock formations or on the surface of the Earth. These fossils are often from organisms that lived within the past few thousand years, such as the bones of mammoths or ancient human remains.
How can fossils be used to date the rock in the strata?
Because index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur. They also tell what year they were made.
Why are there few fossils left of the earliest organisms?
Fossils are incredibly numerous, particularly for small marine organisms, and plant life. Larger animals are less numerous simply because of predation and because of depositional requirements for preservation.
Why are very fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?
Isn't it, " Why are very FEW fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?"and i thought you would know.
Why have so few fossil dinosaurs been found in Antarctica?
The biggest problem with finding fossils in Antarctica is that everything is covered in ice, making it hard for archaeologists to excavate and find fossils.
Why have so few dinosaur found in Antarctica?
So few dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica because the entire continent is covered in ice, making it hard to dig and/or search for large fossils.
Why are fossils rare in igneous and metamorphic rock?
This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
Why have so few dinosaur been found in Antarctica?
So few dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica because the entire continent is covered in ice, making it hard to dig and/or search for large fossils.
What is the age of fossils?
Fossils have been found with ages from a few tens of thousands of years old to roughly three billion years old.
How deep are fossils typically found in the ground?
Fossils are typically found buried deep in the ground, ranging from a few feet to hundreds of feet below the surface. The depth at which fossils are found can vary depending on factors such as the age of the fossil and the geological processes that have occurred in that area.
When was the first harp built?
The earliest evidence of the harp is found in Ancient Egypt circa 2500 BC. They were shaped liked bows or angular and had very few strings.
How deep are fossils typically found in the Earth's crust?
Fossils are typically found in the Earth's crust at depths ranging from a few feet to several miles, depending on the age of the fossil and the geological processes that have occurred in that area.
Which dinosaur has the least amount of fossils found?
There are many dinosaur species with very few fossils found, making it difficult to determine which has the absolute least. Some examples include the Spinosaurus and Irritator, which are known from limited fossil discoveries.
How many fossils are there in emerald?
A few
Why have so few dinosaur fossils been in Antarctica?
To preserve a fossil you need very special conditions during a long time period. That is why there are only few places in which you can find fossils. Besides, is not easy doing this type of research in Antarctica. Do you imagine the cold?
