Fossils

What is a body fossil?

• the remains of the actual organisms

• a fossil of a footprint, trail, burrow, or other trace of an animal rather than of the animal itself

• remains of a dinosaur

what is rock strata

• find the time of when rocks were made

• layers of a rock

• the process of a dissolving rock

principle of inclusion

• gradualism and punctuated equilibrium

• any rock fragments that are included in the rock must be older than the rock in which they are included

• major hypothesis

What is a trace fossil?

• 1-2 organisms in a fossil

• whole amputation in the genes

• a fossil of a footprint, trail, burrow, or other trace of an animal rather than of the animal itself

what is the meaning of relative dating

• differentiating if the rock/fossil is older or younger

• determining age of rock, fossil, or event

• model used that separates history into blocks of time: geological eras and periods

• information and evidence that support the claim

what is the meaning of scientific evidence?

• model used that separates history into blocks of time: geological eras and periods

• differentiating if the rock/fossil is older or younger

• determining age of, rock, fossil, or event

• information and evidence that supports the claim

what is absolute dating?

• differentiating if the rock/fossil is older or younger

• determining age of rock, fossil, or event

• information and evidence that support the claim

• model used that separates history into blocks of time:geological eras and periods

what is the meaning of geological time scale

• model used that separates history into blocks of time:geological eras and periods

• differentiating if the rock/fossil is older or younger

• information and evidence that supports the claim

• determining age of rock, fossil, or event

what is the meaning of scientific theory

• determining age of rock, fossil, or event

• differentiating if the rock/fossil is older or younger

• well test and proved claim supported by evidence

• layers of rock

similarities of absolute dating and relative dating

• tells us more about events

• limited into about events

• helps compare the age of rocks and fossils

• helps us reconstruct earths history
