Fossils
This category is for questions about the bones, fragments, imprints, and other remainders from a different time. The questions and answer you will find here are history set in stone -- our past, immortalized in solid rock. You will also be able to find questions pertaining to the locations of these fossils, how you might identify them, and how they were formed.

What is an example of geology?
Look outside your window. Do you see mountains? A geologist can tell you how they got there. Do you see nothing but flat ground? or ocean? We can tell you why those conditions exist right there. We can tell you what causes earthquakes or how the Earth came to look as it does...and what it used to look like when Dinosaurs were here (and before!). Geologists study the earth and how it formed. We can tell you what used to be up against North America, or where India started out. We can look at a rock and tell you an entire story... Geology is how the Earth came to be what it is right now, and what it will probably look like in the future.
Can a print also be called an impression?
Under certain circumstances yes, but the two words are not always exchangeable.
Example of a valid exchange.
The lion's foot made a print in the wet mud
The lion's foot made an impression in the wet mud.
Example of an invalid exchange.
He made a great impression on her .... (OK)
He made a great print on her ......... (Not OK)
How do fossils provide evidence of environmental changes that occurred in the past?
Fossils provide information about past environmental conditions. Fossils that provide indirect (proxy) information on past environmental conditions are called paleo-indicators. Certain types of plants, for example, require specific temperature and moisture conditions in order to thrive
What rock is aluminum rocks found in?
Aluminum is found in many sedimentary rocks, but the main ore of aluminum is the rock bauxite.
What 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of using fossil fuels?
Advantages: they're reliable; and they're not expensive.
Disadvantages: they're bad for the environment; and the carbon dioxide from burning them is causing global warming.
What could explain bumps that puss and hurt?
With symptoms such as those I would tell you from experience that it would be genital herpes but that is my opinion from experience and I would have it treated ASAP because it can affect you ASAP if it goes with out being treated... Hope this helped and good luck
Well, I know that there are tracks, burrows, trails, and coprolites. But I just don't know the other one yet.
Heredity is the idea of Darwin's based on fossil and the modern organisms he found basically saying that genetic changes are inherited by later generations.
And nbsp Insects and spiders can become trapped in sticky tree sap which can harden and turn into?
amber
In what type of rocks are most are fossils found?
Rarely a fossil may appear in metamorphic or igneous rock, but the vast majority of fossil evidence presents itself in sedimentary rock. Remains or evidences of life are often preserved by being covered in sediments before decaying or being consumed by predators. The sediments may turn to rock through the process of lithification over time, leaving a record of their presence.
-----------------------------------------------------
Fossils will be found mainly in sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compression and cementation of sediments over millions of years. Organisms that die on, in, or near a body of water have a better chance of becoming fossils due to the fact that fossilization requires that the organism be covered relatively quickly in sediments. Once covered in sediments, some of these remains remain intact and can be discovered to have formed fossils or fossilized remains within the layers of the rock. Shale is a particularly good rock for this to occur in, and some limestones like chalk, are composed almost entirely of fossilized marine animal remains.
What is a black vortex on spectrobes beyond the portals?
A black vortex in "Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals" is a type of portal that transports the player to a different dimension or area of the game. Players can enter black vortexes to access bonus content, complete side quests, or find rare items and creatures.
What is menstrual extraction also called?
This procedure is also sometimes called menstrual regulation, mini-suction, or preemptive abortion
How do scientists put fossils in order on the geologic time scale?
Location. Different layers of rock/soil tell a roughly chronological tale of the past, barring cataclysm. There are enough undisturbed sites worldwide that a mosaic can be discerned. Good question.
How are sedimentary rock used by scientists to learn about the past?
Sedimentary rock layers are used by scientist help learn by the texture and shapes
Palps are a second pair of appendages found in crustacean and insects. These appendages are located near the mouth and are used to guide food into the mouth.
How are fossils removed from the ground?
u go to the oreburg museum and talk to the man at the counter give him a fossil go outside then go back inside talk to him again and he will give u your new Pokemon
here are the Pokemon
skull fossil = cranidos

well that's it hope this helps c:
What is the state fossil of New Hampshire?
New Hampshire is one of several states that does not have an Official State Fossil.
Is a fossil woodpecker hole a trace or a body fossil?
The answer is trace fossil. Why? Because a body fossil is a fossil of a part of the animal. Which means a hole is nowhere apart of animal. And a dead one at that.
Is finding reptile fossils strange or unexpected in Antarctica?
Some dinosaurs were in Antarctica in Mesozoic era.
Can fossils of tropical plants be found in desserts?
Nothing fossils can be put in desserts because,well,desserts are sweet treats usually eaten after supper or dinner there is no way an animal would have the chance or time to 1.get trapped in the dessert 2.die in the dessert or 3.be fossilized in the dessert.I must say,I believe they can be found in deserts,if that helps
