Fossils

Initially the term fossil applied to any strange or interesting material found within rock whether or not it was of organic origin (Prothero 2004 p 5) Most modern definitions include the concept that fossils are evidence of ancient organisms which have become a part of the Earth’s crust The word ancient is arbitrary

What Is a Fossil?

Introduction The American Museum of Natural History houses the largest and most spectacular collection of vertebrate fossils in the world A fossil is any evidence of prehistoric life that is at least 10000 years old The most common fossils are bones and teeth but footprints and skin impressions fossils as well

What types of fossils can be compressed?
Compression is most common for fossils of leaves and ferns, but can occur with other organisms, as well. Figure 11.6: Five types of fossils: insect preserved in amber, petrified wood, cast and mold of a clam shell, compression fossil of a fern and pyritized ammonite. Some rock beds have produced exceptional fossils.
What types of fossils are used as index fossils?
Ammonites, trilobites, and graptolites are often used as index fossils, as are various microfossils, or fossils of microscopic organisms. Fossils of animals that drifted in the upper layers of the ocean are particularly useful as index fossils, as they may be distributed all over the world.
What do fossils look like in a rock?
Fossils in relatively young rocks tend to resemble animals and plants that are living today. In older rocks, fossils are less similar to modern organisms. As scientists collected fossils from different rock layers and formations, they discovered that they could often recognize the rock layer by the assemblage of fossils it contained.
What is the purpose of the fossil book?
This book deals with dinosaurs and the plants and animals that preceded them and followed them. Fenton, C.L., Fenton, M.A., Rich, P.V., and Rich, T.H., 1989, The Fossil Book: A Record of ' Prehistoric Life: Doubleday, New York, 740 p.

The Relative Time Scale

Long before geologists had the means to recognize and express time in numbers of years before the present, they developed the geologic time scale. This time scale was developed gradually, mostly in Europe, over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Earth's history is subdivided into eons, which are sub divided into eras, which are subdivided int

Rocks and Layers

We study Earth's history by studying the record of past events that is preserved in the rocks. The layers of the rocks are the pages in our history book. Most of the rocks exposed at the surface of Earth are sedimentary formed from particles of older rocks that have been broken apart by water or wind. The gravel, sand, and mud settle to the bottom

Fossils and Rocks

To tell the age of most layered rocks, scien tists study the fossils these rocks contain. Fossils provide important evidence to help determine what happened in Earth history and when it happened. The word fossil makes many people think of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are now featured in books, movies, and television programs, and the bones of some large di

Fossil Succession

Three concepts are important in the study and use of fossils: (1) Fossils represent the remains of once-living organisms. (2) Most fossils are the remains of extinct organisms; that is, they belong to species that are no longer liv ing anywhere on Earth. (3) The kinds of fossils found in rocks of different ages differ because life on Earth has chan

How do scientists explain the changes in life forms, which are obvious in the record of fossils in rocks?

species is the most basic unit of classification for living things. This group of fossil clams shows likely ancestor-descendant relationships at the species level. These fossils from the Mid-Atlantic States show the way species can change through time. Notice how the shape of the posterior (rear) end of these clams becomes more rounded in the young

O Q The Law of Fossil Succession is very important to geologists who need to know the ages of the rocks they are studying. The fossils present in a rock exposure or in a core hole can be used to determine the ages of rocks very precisely. Detailed studies of many rocks from many places reveal that some fossils have a short, well-known time of exist

Remains and Imprints
Students will learn that this group undergoes a process science calls fossilization. Bones and teeth are hard mineral parts that become fossils after an animal dies. They are unlike the rest of the animal’s body. After a long time, the chemicals in the body undergo a number of changes. Other parts of the body eventually deteriorate and leave behind...
Trace Fossils
The second category involves things that animals made while they were living but that turned into stone. There are a few types of trace fossils: animal tracks, animal waste, and animal eggs. Students will discover what scientists can learn when they find any of these types. From animal tracks, paleontologists can study the speed, stride, number of ...
Mummification
The third group of fossils includes mummified animals. This process happens when the soft tissues of an animal’s skin and organs remain after thousands of years. This would require that something preserve the body long enough for these tissues to dry completely. Scientists find these types of fossils, including humans, in arid or dry parts of the w...

What is a fossil record?

The complex of data recorded in fossils worldwide—known as the fossil record —is the primary source of information about the history of life on Earth. Only a small fraction of ancient organisms are preserved as fossils, and usually only organisms that have a solid and resistant skeleton are readily preserved.

What is a fossil lesson?

Lesson Objectives and Overview: Fossils teaches students how some of these special rocks form and some different types. Students will discover interesting facts about each type and learn some related vocabulary. By the end of the lesson, they will know the traits of various fossils and be able to explain how they form.

What is the fossil on the slide/picture?

ANSWER: The fossil on the slide/picture is a cast fossil. Distribute a Document: Types of Fossils Chart to each student. Students will read the information on the squares. They will then cut and paste them in the appropriate square on the table.

What are the three types of fossils?

Tell students that they will be learning about three types of fossils: mold, cast and trace fossils. Show students the Fossil PowerPoint slide or printed picture again and after explaining the types of fossils, ask them if they think the fossil is a mold, a cast, or a trace fossil.

How do you identify a fossil?

• When checking if something is a fossil, the first thing paleontologists check is the weight.
. When something becomes a fossil, it mineralized, or becomes made of minerals.
. This usually means an increase in weight.
. A fossil bone is heavier than a normal bone, noticeably so.
. So, if your object is heavy, it might be a fossil.

What do fossils tell us?

Fossils tell us a story of life in the past.
. They may also tell us how an organism died, usually by rapid burial during a catastrophe.

What is a true fossil?

True form fossils are large body parts of an organism that has been replaced by minerals.
. True form fossils are formed by a process called petrification.
. Common examples of these fossils include limbs, torsos, fingers, and heads.
. Unlike molds and casts, they are not formed using an impression.

What are four types of fossils?

Mold Fossils.
Cast Fossils.
True Fossils or Ichnofossils.
True Form Fossils.
