Why don't we find fossils in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Fossils are remains or impressions of living organisms and they are found in the sediments in or near where they lived. Living organisms cannot live in a molten magma which cools to become an igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks used to be sedimentary and igneous rocks but they were buried very deep under mountains and any traces of fossils in the sedimentary layers have been removed by the heat and pressure which altered the rock.
Where are fossils mostly preserved?
Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock, which is the most common type of rock on Earth. Sedimentary rocks form when particles of sediment are deposited by water or wind, and then hardened over time.
Are fossil fuels found in sedimentary rock?
Yes.
How do Paleontologists use the remains of the Trilobites?
Paleontologists use the fossils of different aged trilobites to identify the age of rock formations and fossils in other locations. Similar trilobites found in British Columbia as found in Asia would indicate the rock was nearly the same age from both sites. May also mean that the two locations were once close together, but moved away due to plate tectonics.
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.
How do scientist learn about organisms in the past while studing a fossil?
because they are preserved in the rock formations
What rare rock formations are found in Radium Springs?
Equiptinite/ quartzite
Where can the Flatiron rock formations be found?
The Flatirons are rock formations near Boulder, Colorado. There are five of them that run North to South on the Eastern most slope of Colorado's Green Mountain.
What minerals found in rock formations are able to neutralize the effects of acid?
limestones
What is the origin of chert?
The origin of chert in sedimentary rock formations is silicon derived from siliceous skeletons of organisms or silicon solutions replacing voids or entombed animals or plants in the formations.
How do geologists find oil?
They look for rock formations where oil would be found. They locate those underground rock formations using seismic equipment that bounces a sound wave off rock formations, and back to a receiver. Somewhat the same way that sonar is used to locate a submarine underwater.
What are seaside rock formations called?
Seaside rock formations are sometimes called oolite.
Where are natural caves and rock shelters found?
Natural caves and rock shelters can be found in various landscapes and geological formations. They can be found in mountains, hills, canyons, coastal cliffs, and even underground. Additionally, they are often found in areas with sedimentary rock formations that are susceptible to erosion processes such as caves formed from limestone, sandstone, granite, and volcanic rock.
Where do you find strontium?
Strontium is one of the most common elements found on earth. It is mainly found in igneous rock, and sedimentary formations.
What was the Painted Desert named after?
The Painted Desert receives its name from the colorful rock formations and landscapes found there.
Are the rock formations in the grand canyon older at the top or bottom of the canyon?
The rock formations at the bottom are older.
What caused most of the rock formations in wv?
Most of the rock formations in West Virginia are caused by erosion.
