What happens to insects when they get trapped in amber?

This is an example of    

• Fossils changed by minerals are said to be mineralized.

Which of the following statements is true about fossilization?

• Harder parts made up of carbon compounds which doesn't decay or destroy easily.

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.

• Fossils are used by paleontologists to know about ancient world.
• Fossils tell us about history of life on earth.

In the case of fossils, what is amber?

• Amber fossils are made up of hardened tree sap.
• It has whole organism trapped in it.

When parts of an organism like feathers or leaves of a tree leave imprints, then the fossilization is known as

• 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.

A dead organism is more likely to become a fossil if it contains _________ parts like teeth or bones.

• Fossils are the preserved parts for many years so the parts have ability to resist decaying can become fossils only.
• Hard parts of organisms like shells, bones and teeth etc are made up of calcium carbonate which is very strong.
• So the hard parts have greater ability to don't decay and become fossils than the soft parts.
• As a result, an organism is more likely to become fossil if it contains Hard parts as compared to soft parts.

What type of fossil is this?

Amber:- 

• This type of fossils are used by paleontologists to know the ancient world.
• These are also used as pendant due to their beautiful apperance.

Which type of fossil is formed when the remains of a dead organism are turned into stone? 

• Petrification is a type of fossilisation.
• The Fossils are in the form of stones.

Which of these can be learned about a species by studying their fossilized skeletons?

• Paleontologists study fossils to know about the ancient world and history of life on earth.

The body of an animal is most likely to become fossilized if it

• Plants and animals get fossilised when they are protected from diverse conditions.
• It can be when these are covered.
