how do fossils form layer by layer explain
Answers
it is a reelative process..when the earliest species dies it gets burried and a layer of soil gets deposited then again the next species dies and a layer of soil gets deposited this continues and finally fossils forms layers
Fossils are formed in a number of different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.
Fossils are the record of life preserved in monuments of stone. Almost all living organisms can leave fossils, but usually only the hard parts of plants and animals fossilize. Soft internal organs, muscle, and skin rapidly decay and are rarely preserved, but the bones and shells of animals are good candidates for fossilization. Almost no fossil record exists for soft organisms such as jellyfish and worms.
Fossils include the footprints of animals left in soft mud, later to be buried, and turned into stone. One of the more exotic fossils is that of swimming tracks made by animals as they brush against the mud and silt floors of an ocean or lake. Under certain circumstances fossils of animal dung, eggs, and even complete nests with eggs have been preserved in stone.
Fossil layers are fossils that formed in sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock is rock that is formed in layers by the depositing and pressing of sediments on top of each other. ... Fossils are once-living organisms that have been turned into rock, in which the shape or form of the organism can still be seen.
