What do most fossils form in?

Most fossils form in sedimentary rock, which is created by the deposition and accumulation of sediments over time. The most common types of sedimentary rock that preserve fossils are shale, sandstone, and limestone.


What do fossilized tracks tell you about the reptiles that once lived in the canyon?

Well, the tracks are examples of trace fossils. Trace fossils are not fossils in the traditional sense. Instead, they are fossils of something other than the animal or plant's form, like a animal track or burrow, that tells us an animal has been there.


What type of rock would fossils most likely likely be found in?

Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rocks. This is because these rocks form from layers of sand, dirt, and debris that accumulate over time and can preserve the remains of plants and animals. Sedimentary rocks often have distinct layers that can hold fossils within them.

What do fossils feel like?

Fossils have layer upon layer of hardened tissue. Therefore they are quite rough in texture where the insides are more malleable.

Fossils are a unique study and I you study them further.
