Answer:

The above statement is true.

Explanation:

The shells of aragonite are affected by various ongoing earth dynamic processes, such as physical and chemical weathering and erosion of the rock layers that contain these fossils, chemical reactions between fossils and acid water dissolving the materials of the shells.

The older Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks have undergone significant changes with increasing time due to the effects of events such as tectonism, volcanism, erosion and so on. So the fossils present in these rocks were affected and were altered. But the rocks of the Cenozoic era are of recent age, about 65-60 million years old. During this era,<u> massive deposition of sediments has taken place throughout the globe which provides a suitable condition for the preservation of fossils like aragonite shells</u>. So these fossils found in these deposits are not much altered.

I NEED HELP The measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.
enyata [817]

<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>
