Presentation transcript:

 Challenge  What can fossils tell you about organisms that lived in the past? Key Vocabulary: Fossil Geologic Timescale

 What’s a fossil?  Any trace of life preserved in a rock  What can fossils tell us?  What can’t fossils tell us?  Trace vs. Body Fossils

 Trace fossils are fossilized evidence that an organism was there  Examples:  Fossilized remains of bodies  Examples:

 Trace Fossil  Evidence of the organism left behind.  Footprint, Bite mark, imprint, coprolite, burrows  Body Fossil  Part of the actual organism.  Bone, Tooth, Shell

 Your group will have 3 minutes to observe, sketch, and comment on 8 different fossils.  1) Sketch the fossil  2) Predict if you think the fossil is Old, Medium, New (Write O, M, N)  3) Decide whether the fossil is a Trace or Body fossil (Write B or T)
