What types of rocks would be associated with fossils?
Fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock. Processes hardened them into sedimentary rock, as pressure squeezed the water out and the grains were cemented together. Often plants and animals were trapped, being buried in the sediments. As the sediments hardened into sedimentary rock, the dead things hardened into fossils.
The following are examples of sedimentary rocks:
- Shale
- Sandstone
- Limestone
- Siltstone
- Mudstone
- Chalk
- Claystone
- Itacolumite
- Bituminous coal
- Oolite
- Oil shale
- Arkose
- Argillite
- Conglomerate
- Diatomite
- Rock salt
- Rock Gypsum
- Coquina
- Asphalt rock
- Alabaster
- Greywacke or wacke
- Travertine
- Banded iron
- Gritstone
- Jaspillite
- Orthoquartzite
- Radiolarite
- Lignite
- Marl

What should you observe in the fossil record if evolution is slow and steady?
If evolution is slow and steady, we'd expect to see the entire transition, from ancestor to descendent, displayed as transitional forms over a long period of time in the fossil record.
What organic material is used in age dating?
Typically carbon is used in a technique known as carbon dating. Technically, it is known as Carbon-14 dating. Pretty much all living things are made up of Carbon. When something dies, the Carbon-14 in the organism starts breaking down. Since Carbon-14 disintegrates in a very uniform and predictable way, we can gauge the age by determining the level of Carbon-14 disintegration.
What provides evidence for events of earth's ancient history?
Fossils may prove a bit. Also the Bible includes much info. If you believe in Christ our lord.

How can you tell pyritisation can result in fossil formation?
Pyritisation is when iron pyrite replaces hard remains of a dead organism.
