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

Remains of once living organisms. Form from decay and are buried by sediment. Sediment hardens into rock and preserves the shape of the organisms.

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:

What are Fossils? Fossils – Preserved remains or traces of living things.

How are Fossils preserved? When an animal dies, the remains are covered by sediment. This sediment hardens and forms rock layers over time.

What moves the sediment? WEATHERING AND EROSION

Types of Fossils There are 6 types of Fossils: Molds Casts Petrified Fossils Carbon Films Trace Fossils Preserved Remains Brain Pop Video - https://www.brainpop.com/science/diversityoflife/fossils/

Molds and Casts Mold – A hollow area in sediment in the shape of the organism. Cast – A solid (3D) copy of the shape of an organism.

Petrified Fossils Petrified Fossils – When minerals replace all or part of an organism, and it becomes stone.

Carbon Films Carbon Film – An extremely thin coating of carbon on rock. All living things are made up of carbon! When the other materials decompose or evaporate, carbon is left in the rock, creating a carbon film.

Preserved Remains Preserved Remains – When most or all of an animal is preserved in its original form. Amber, Ice and Tar can preserve an ancient organism exactly how it was long ago.

Trace Fossils Trace Fossils – Fossils that provide evidence of the activities of ancient organisms. Dinosaur Footprints are a perfect example!

Trace Fossil Inferences Look at the footprints in the diagram. What inferences can you make about what happened here?
