This is extremely unlikely, as the processes which break down rocks to produce soil would destroy the fossil (which is also rock).

What is something that paleontologist often find in sedimentary rocks?

they study first the soil composition of the ground check for valuable minerals and geographic chemicals which will be analyzed if the soil has a huge possibility to have an bones and fossils. this process may be skipped if a local community did find some bones there. the next step would be carefully digging the bones in there.


What type of geographic formation were many of the artifacts and fossils found?

Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock. This is because sediments (soil, sand, etc) pile on top of bones and then solidify into rock, over time, preserving fossils. Because these generally remain buried very deep, it does make it easier to find fossils in areas where the ground has been pushed upward by the formation of mountain ranges. Thus, sedimentary rock is nearly always the material fossils are found in, and mountains make it a little easier to find fossils.


How fossils are layered?

We Find fossils Inside the Mud or soils deep end... The more deep ... The more you get fossils The more Near.. The less chances or formation of Fossils..


What is the job where you find fossils?

A paleontologist is a scientist who studies fossils to learn about organisms that lived in the past. They can work in museums, universities, or in the field excavating and analyzing fossils.


How do scientists find the absolute age of fossils and rock correlations?

Scientists find the absolute age of fossils and rocks through radiometric dating techniques such as carbon-14 dating for more recent samples, and methods like uranium-lead dating for older samples. Rock correlations involve comparing the rock layers in different locations to establish their relative ages based on the principle of superposition and the identification of index fossils.
