Molds and Casts  A mold is a hollow space left in a rock by an object that has dissolved in it  If this mold fills in with mud or minerals, the filling.

Clues from Fossils Fossils give us information about living things in the past.

Notes on Fossils (from top left) are of a ammonite (marine); T-Rex; an ancient fish and a trilobite (marine). Earth/Space.

Fossils A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of living things They must be natural and ancient (10,000 years or older) and buried in rocks.

Fossils Fossil are the preserved remains or traces of living things. They form when living things die and are buried by sediment. They are usually.

Fossils. Essential Question How can fossils be used to help explain what happened in the past?

Essential Questions: What are fossils and how are they formed? What are the different kinds of fossils? What do fossils tell about how organisms have changed.

 Organism dies.  Organism is buried in sediment.  Soft parts decay.  Hard parts dissolve.  An impression or mold forms when the sediment hardens.

Fossils are the remains, imprints, or traces of prehistoric organisms. Fossils have helped determine approximately when life first appeared, when plants.

Chapter 8. Fossil - the preserved remains or traces of a living thing. Mold - the hollow space that is left. Cast - forms when dissolved minerals fill.

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.

Notes. Fossils are perserved remains or traces of living things. Fossils normally form in sedimentary rock. Hard parts are the only parts of an organism.

Presentation transcript:

Molds and Casts  A mold is a hollow space left in a rock by an object that has dissolved in it  If this mold fills in with mud or minerals, the filling can harden, resulting in a cast

Formation  An organism dies and lands in soft sediment  The sediment becomes rock over time  Water seeps into the rock, decaying/dissolving the organism, leaving a mold  Minerals fill the mold and create a cast of the organism

Conditions  Water – decays the organism  Sedimentary rock – layers over the top of the dead organism. Other types of rock don’t layer and couldn’t form a mold
