Answer 1

Answer: Hope This Helps!

Explanation:

1: Streak: Streak is a word referring to the color of the streak that a rock makes when it is scraped against the unglazed side of a white ceramic tile (or, the unglazed bottom of a white coffee cup or toilet tank cover).

2: Luster: The luster of a mineral is best observed on a surface that is free of moisture, dirt, tarnish, and abrasion. Geologists in the field usually carry a rock hammer to break rocks so that their true luster and color can be observed.

3: They could both be the same mineral: The minerals pyrite and gold are always metallic yellow in color and streak (although they differ in other characteristics such as hardness).

4: The rocks contain fossils: Sedimentary rocks are most likely to contain fossils. Fossils are formed when the bodies or remnants of living organisms (plants and animals) are covered and are thus protected from predators or microbial decay. And thats exactly what a sedimentary rock is.
