OhNo!Are You using a Interatcive Reader-Science 7th GRADE? WELL I DO TOO, that's why i need help :*(LIFE SCience)
well i think its cause the coldness freezes the animals/artifact in rock and or ice The answer is on the top of page 128 Ice and cold temperatures slow down decay.
Every rocks have formed in special environment some form by lava and some form in sea, raver and lakes so the rock which is formed inside water so they have fossils of specific environment and the rocks form by lava it was hot so there were no possibility to preserved living organism.
Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments such as mud, sand, and silt. These rocks provide the right conditions for preserving remains of organisms, as they can form in environments like riverbeds, lakes, and ocean floors. In some cases, fossils can also be found in volcanic ash deposits or amber, which can preserve organic material.
No such thing has ever been found to exist. No fossils have been proven to have been found in meteorites. Some scientists claim that they have found tiny fossils in meteorites from Mars but they can not prove the formations in the rocks aren't naturally occurring.
The vast majority of visible fossils are marine invertebrates, animals that live in the sea and have no backbone, mostly animals with a hard outer shell. This would include clams, coral, brachiopods, ammonites, and other animals familiar to us, as well as extinct animals like trilobites and crinoids. In some locations the deposits are dominated by fish fossils and more rarely insects.
it shows fossils because when sedimentary rocks are formed waste and decayed matter get cement( crushed ) togather. The change of mineral forms metamorphic rocks, but the fossils will remain in the rocks only the minerals will change. eg Limestone ----- marble. Limestone forms marble which is used to build taj mahal.
Some fossils are not rocks, but they form because there is so much pressure and it blends
The amount of time it takes for fossils to form is 12,000 years and 1.2 million years. Some scientists have stated that it can take 200 years for some fossils to form.

Some fossils are found in the sedimentary rocks - along with shells and sediment.

fossils are found by scientists. some are even found in deserts
For a deceased animal to fossilize its needs to be covered in sediment right after it passes away. Sediment can included, the sea floor, lava and even sticky tar.
fish
Some of it does.
a fossil record shows what types of fossils there are
some do
inorganic minerals replace the bones and shells in fossils. However, some recent demineralization experiments have indicated that some original connective tissue may remain, even in very old fossils.
