Identify the type of fossil in this image:

Hollow area in the sediment which shows the shape of an organism or a part of an organism.

Solid copy of the shape of an organism

Fossils in which minerals replace all or part of an organism

Provide evidence of the activities of ancient organisms

Remains of organisms that become trapped in tar, ice or amber.

The preserved remains or traces of living things.

Fossils of widely distributed organisms that lived during only one short period.

Record of all the fossils ever discovered on Earth.

Event that occurs when the last individual organism of a species dies.

The process by which all the different kinds of living things have changed over time.

A scientist who studies fossils to learn about organisms that lived long ago.

The age of rocks and geological features compared with other nearby rocks and features.

The age of a rock as the number of years since the rock formed.

A record of the geologic events and life forms in Earth’s history.

The remains of the organism are preserved as the fossil. Trapped in amber, tar pits, or ice. The preservation prevents decomposition from air or bacteria.

A fossilized outline of an organism. The result of the heat and pressure of being buried. Usually shiny black and brown.

Rock-forming minerals dissolved in groundwater can fill in pore spaces or replace the tissue of dead organisms. This results in a copy/replica of the organism.

Fossilized imprint or impression of an organism. Sediment hardens around the organism, as the organism decays all that is left is the impression and the sediment eventually turns to rock.

Fossilized traces of an animal's movement or activity. Includes, tracks, footprints, and nests. These help scientists learn about an animal's characteristics or behaviors.

A fossil made when an imprint of an organism is filled with sediment or mineral deposits that are hardened.

This fossil forms when minerals in water slowly replace the organisms tissues.

This is a recent discovery of an 18,000 year old wolf-pup found frozen in Siberia. What type of fossil does it represent?

Organisms like this saber tooth tiger have been extracted from the La Brea tar pit in Southern California. What type of fossil would you most likely find in a tar pit?

Which of the following can preserve original remains of an organism?

Which type of fossil show the organism in 3D form, sticking out from the rock?

Which type of fossils can be created when an animal walked in mud long ago and then the mud hardened intro rock?

Scientists use which type of fossils to study animal behavior; how they moved?

Which type of fossil is a mold that was filled in and then turned to rock?
