I. Fossils  A. Fossil: the remains of physical evidence of an organism preserved by geological processes. How Fossils Form Simulation

Examples of Fossilization

Other Types of Fossils B. Trace Fossil a fossilized mark that is formed in soft sediment by the movement of an animal. Ex: Footprints Burrows Dinosaur footprint Crustacean burrow

C. Using Fossils to interpret the Past 1. Only a fraction of the organisms that have lived during geologic time have been preserved as fossils. 2. However fossils can indicate a record of environmental change.

Question?  Why is it difficult for fossilization to occur?  Answer : Environmental conditions may not be favorable.  2 Requirements of Fossilization:  Rapid burial  Possession of hard parts.

D. History of Changing Organisms  By studying the relationship between fossils, scientist can determine how life has changed over time. -Paleontologist look for similarities between fossils, or between fossilized organisms and their closest living relatives.

II. The Geologic Time Scale  Divisions in the time scale mark times when rapid changes happen on earth. -Rise of a dominant organism -Mass Extinction

A. Precambrian Time 1. Accounts for 88% of Earth’s History 2. Early life forms on Earth 3. Cyanobacteria appeared 3 billion years ago.

B. Why would cyanobacteria be important?  1. Release Oxygen into the oceans and air  2. Formed ozone layer, which absorbs harmful UV radiation from the sun.

 Extinction Extinction Describes a species that has died out completely. Mass extinction periods when many species suddenly became extinct. Over 99% of organisms that have ever lived on Earth are now extinct! What Caused the Extinction of the Dinosaurs? What evidence supports this? K-T Extinction Event Video Clip What caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?
