Can Pokemon from fossils lay eggs?

All pokemon lay eggs (except for legendaries). You have to leave a male and female of the pokemon you want to produce an egg in the day care center. Come back later, and the day care man should tell you that one layed an egg. It doesn't happen immediately, so be patient. Also, you could breed a pokemon with a ditto and it will produce an egg of the pokemon that is not ditto. Hoped this helped.

Where do you get fossils in SoulSilver?

In Pokémon Emerald, you can choose between the Root Fossil (the fossil of Lileep) and the Claw Fossil (the fossil of Anorith). You can get one of these fossils once you got the Go-Goggles (after you got your fourth badge, you will get it automatically from May/Brendan). Then, go to the Desert on Route 111. Sometimes, the Mirage Tower will show up near the southern entrance of the Desert.

There are some special paths in the Mirage Towers, and you'll need a Mach Bike to be able to get past those. But once you're at the top-floor of the Tower, you can choose either one of the Fossils.

You can get the other Fossil once you've beaten the Pokémon League. Go to Fallarbor Town, to the house of the Fossil Maniac (the house where you got the TM Dig). Go to the back of the house. Where once the Fossil Maniac was digging, an entrance has appeared to the Desert Underpass. At the eastern end of the Desert Underpass, you will find the other fossil.

What evidence can you find in sedimentary rocks?

The Rock cycle is a process whereby all types of rock are formed then eroded and "recycled" through different depositional processes. Sedimentary rocks can provide evidence that the rock cycle exists by looking at it under a microscope. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of grains of different sizes shapes and compositions. By detemining the compositions of the grains within a sedimentary rock through a petrographic microscope or through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) then it can be seen that some grains are composed of minerals that are solely igneous in origin. Likewise, sedimentary rocks can be metamorphosed to form meta-sediments.

How does something become a fossil?

when a living organism dies on the surface of the earth and sediment pile on it over time and it decays.

What type of rocks have fossils found in them?

What are all the fossils you can get in Pokemon Diamond?

a good start for looking is to go to oreburgh (or something like that) city and start there, there is a higher chance of getting fossils.

no fossils are found underground when you dig them up then take them to oreburgh city to the musuem and the man at the desk will change it into a pokemon

To put it in better words, you must use the Explorer's Kit to go underground and excavate bumps in the wall for fossils. You can pretty much have an infinite amount of fossils from all generations (except 2 of course). You then put those fossils in your bag and go to Oreburgh City's museum north of the city and talk to the blue haired scientist. Talk to him, choose the fossil, go out of the museum (like he says), go right back in, and there's your Pokémon.

BE SURE TO HAVE SOME SPACE IN YOUR POKÉMON INVENTORY!
Under ground using the explorer kit.

How much is shell fossils worth?

Value of a FossilStrictly speaking, all value is subjective. Something is worth what someone will pay for it. The only thing you can say is worth $X is X U.S. dollar bills or coins. That may sound pedantic, but it is especially true when talking about the value of fossils. First, every fossil is unique. That means that it is difficult to say, for example, that a trilobite is a worth a certain amount. You would need to take into account the condition, species, size, etc. Second, the fossil market isn't as active as some other collectibles markets. For example, since there are so many baseball card buyers and sellers it is possible to print up collector's guide books with estimated values for cards in different conditions. The market for fossils just isn't that active. On the bright side, the Internet is a great blessing to fossil collectors, especially a little old site called eBay. Lots of fossils are being bought and sold on eBay every day. If you want a very rough estimate of what yours is worth, try searching the current and expired auctions for something similar. Even better, sell the fossil on eBay. That will tell you exactly what it is worth.

:

As a seasoned fossil collector, I just want to add, that as you become more expereanced, you begin to get an idea of when it's a great deal, and when your getting ripped off. Fossils can go for as little as 50 cents all the way into the millions. The most expensive fossil ever bought was Sue, the largest and most complete T.Rex skeleton yet discovered.

Why do fossils prove that evolution has occurred?

Fossils themselves prove nothing.

However, in comparing fossils from earlier, later and much later times, we see such similarlities accompanied by differences; we see creatures remaining as they were, and then suddenly developing into others, sometimes disappearing, soemtimes living alongside them.

The fossils show us a small picture of basically what was alive at that time. We know that for example, some apelike creatures existed in one place at one time, and then later on they moved "here". Then we see that they start becoming fewer and fewer, while a similar - but different - creature becomes more common. Then #2 becomes rarer while another very similar but different animal becomes more common. And then #3 starts getting less common...

Sometimes at each stage, we find there are several animals which are all different, but all similar to the ones before. Sometimes we only one, immediately replacing its predecessor. As explained by evolutionary theory, this is what we expect, and this is what we see.

Why are fossils of age greater than 3000 million years so rare?

Early organisms lacked skeletons and other hard structures that are most likely to be fossilized.

How are carbon films and preserved remains different?

carbon films can preserve the delicate parts of plants leaves and insects, and preserved remains can preserve entire organisms.

Why do scientists have been unable to find fossils of the first plants?

Because very specific conditions need to occur for fossils to both form and also survive through to the present day. Most dead animals and plants are not fossilized and many that were must have been subjected to erosion and other destructive processes. Many fossils which have formed and survived just haven't been found.
