Answer:

I will give a hypothesis. Just like a tree, when you cut a tree by its trunk, you will the rings. The rings around it represents the tree's age. So when you cut rock, the pores in the rock determine whether it is an old rock or a fossil rock.

Explanation:

The reason is, if it is limestone and it is an old rock, the pores will be slightly big and if the limestone is a fossil rock, then the pores will be bigger due to leaching or denaturing of the minerals in the rock through the ages.

Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water
Gre4nikov [31]
Phospholipids will form a bilayer in water because they contain hydrophobic (Water fearing.. in this cause water "hating") tails and hydrophilic heads (water loving). So they form a bilayer to remove the tails from water likewise, this satisfies the hydrophilic heads because they are still exposed to water.
