Juan is studying fossils. His teacher wrote the following statements on the board and asked the students to put them in the correct order to describe how fossils are formed.

1. Minerals seep into the organism’s body and replace it with stone.

2. The organism completely decomposes, leaving behind an imprint.

3. An organism dies and its body is covered with a layer of sediment.

4. Time passes, and sediment layers continue to build up on the organism.

What is the correct order of fossil creation?

• 3, 4, 1, 2

• 2, 3, 4, 1

• 1, 3, 2, 4

• 3, 2, 1, 4

Which of these descriptions is an example of an unused body structure?

• a bat’s wing that enables it to fly

• the tiny leg bones found in snakes that have no legs

• the front legs of a dog that supports its weight as it walks and runs

• the tentacles of an octopus that aid it in movement and catching prey

Which Layer of rock contains the "youngest" fossils?

• layer A

• layer B

• layer C

• layer D
