A clear fish imprint in the rock indicates that the rock is probably?
A clear imprint of a fish in a rock indicated that the rock is a fossil of the fish. Fossils dating back 3.5 billion years have been found.
What rock types would most likely contain fossil?
Sedimentary rock is the only type of rock that will contain fossils, but there are several types of sedimentary rock.Examples:Clastic Sedimentary Rocks (particles of silt and/or sand that cement together): Conglomerate, Breccia, Sandstone, Siltstone, Shale.Examples:Chemical Sedimentary Rocks (forms when mineral constituents become supersaturated and inorganically precipitate):Evaporates:Halite, GypsumCarbonates:Limestone, Fossiliferous LimestoneSiliceous Rocks: ChertOrganic Sedimentary Rocks: Coal.The rocks listed in BOLD will likely be found with fossils.
A scientist identifies a variety of fossils in a layer of sedimentary rock By applying the principle of fossil succession the scientist can identify?
The age of the rock layer
If you found a rock with seashells in it would it be a sedimentary rock an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
It is definitely a sedimentary rock because you cannot find sea shells where metamorphic rocks are formed, nor can you find them in magma and lava. This is because metamorphic rocks are formed below the earths surface where the plates of the earth squash an existing rock even small to make it metamorphic, and igneous rocks are obviously formed in volcanoes where the heat and pressure would melt the fossil.
Can fossils be found in all types of rocks?
Often, but not always! The definition of a fossil is a whole, part or impression of an organism from a past geologic age, embedded in natural materials, such as rock, sediment, resin, petrified bones, or wood.
Fossil fuels are found in what type of rock?
Coal is an organic sedimentary rock that is considered a solid fossil fuel.
Fosil fuels are made in what type of rock?
Sedimentary rock is home to fossil fuels like coal and oil.
Why are fossils not found in other kinds of rock except sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is when a fossil is found inside it.
What type of rock is a fossil?
A fossil is evidence of an organisms existence, not a type of rock. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.
What is the type of rocks which contain fossil fuels?
I think they're found in the fossils of dead animals or plants.
Is it true or False that Fossil Fuels are liquid deposits of iron ore found only in sedimentary rock formations?
FALSE. Fossil fuels come from organic matter that has undergone anaerobic decomposition. We suspect that much of our fossil fuel comes from buried plankton and dinosaurs.
Where can fossil fuels and minerals be found?
Fossil fuels, such as coil, oil, and natural gas, are normally found underground, where they have formed within layers of sedimentary rock. In some cases, oil, coal, or tar deposits have been uncovered or exist relatively close to the surface.
Why did the mucrospirifer fossil only found in sedimentary rocks?
All fossils are found only in sedimentary rock. The heat and/or pressure involved in the formation of igneous or metamorphic rock would destroy the fossil.
Why are places with more sedimentary rock better places for fossil hunting?
Nearly all fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
Fossil are found mainly in what kind of rock?
For a variety of reasons, most fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
When the track of an animal is found in sedimentary rock what is it called?
A trace fossil.
What layer is an old fossil found?
fossils are formed in Sedimentary rock
