The picture shows which type of fossil?

The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers is known as

• Sedimentary rocks get aligned in rows and the process is called stratification.
• These sedimentary rocks have a lot of Fossils.

Fossils help us to understand

Fossil record is helpful to tell us that how was the life millions of years ago.

Fossils are found mostly in which type of sedimentary rock?

• Fossils are preserved remains of ancient plants and animals.
• Can be in the form of Rocks.
• Can be impressions.

Which type of fossil is formed when minerals fill in the space left from a living organism?

What happens to insects when they get trapped in amber?

The Fossils in which any small organism trapped in resin of tree which becomes rigid after burring in soil are called Amber fossils.

This is an example of    

• Fossils changed by minerals are said to be mineralized.

Which of the following statements is true about fossilization?

The picture shows which type of fossil?     

• Imprint fossils don't contain any carbon material.
• These include coprolites, foot print, plants or track etc.

Which of the following objects is most likely to become a fossil?

• Hard parts are made up of calcium carbonate and other elements so can't be destroyed or decayed even in diverse conditions easily.
• So the parts are most likely to be fossils.

__________ are remains of ancient plants and animals.

• The Fossils give knowledge about history of life on earth.
• Knowledge of the ancient world.

Rocks formed from sediments are called

• The rocks can be on surface of earth or maybe near the earth surface.

When the minerals from sediments replace tissues of an organism, __________ fossilization has occurred

Which of the following is true about fossils?

• Fossils can be of different types like mineralized fossils, casts and molds, impression fossils etc.
