If water plants lived in an area of volcanic hot springs such as Yellowstone Park, the silica in the water would gradually be absorbed into the cells of the plants. This kills the plants over time but it also preserves their structure in a rock called chert.
The 410 million year old Rhynie Chert in Scotland is a good example of early plants preserved in this way.
What else can I help you with?
Where do paleontogolgist work?
I think that paleontologists work on a piece of land that is said to have buried dinosaur fossils or that are near landmarks with signs of past life underground. =]
Why do you think paleontologists find fossils of small water plants but few other plants in the deepest rock layers?
Small water plants have a higher likelihood of being preserved in deep rock layers because their delicate structures are easily buried and protected from decay. Other plants may have had a different composition that made them less likely to fossilize or their habitats may not have favored preservation in deep rock layers.
Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animalwhich type of rock do you think is most likely to contain fossils?
Sedimentary rocks are most likely to contain fossils. This is because sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments that often include the remains of plants and animals. Over time, these remains can become preserved as fossils within the layers of sedimentary rock.
What type of scientist studies plant fossils?
A paleontologist studies the history of plants and animals.
Which of these can form fossils bones and leaves skin hair and muscles composite rocks and plants igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Bones, skin, hair, and muscles can form fossils within sedimentary rocks when the remains are buried and undergo a process called fossilization. Leaves can also form fossils in sedimentary rocks through a similar process. Igneous rocks, being formed from molten magma, are less likely to preserve fossils. Plants can form fossils through a process called carbonization, where their structures are preserved in sedimentary rocks.
Why do you think paleontologists find fossils of small water plants but few other plants in deepest of rock layers?
No land plants in the deepest rock layers. Water plants are easily covered with sediment while land plants rot long before sediment covers them usually.

What is a bambiraptor?
a bird which paleontologists think that is similar to birds from today
Imprints of prehistoric living things is called?
I think the answer you're looking for is fossils. Fossils are remnants or imprints of living things, such as animals and plants, which are from past geologic age and found in the earth's crust.
How do small plants eat other small plants?
I dont think they can unless there plant monsters. You don't see plants eating things everyday. But there are plants that suck the nutrients out of other plants.
