Tennessee SPI Objective: Compare fossils found in sedimentary rock to determine their relative age. Notes Science Essential Learning Students will examine the law of superposition in sedimentary rock formation, how fossils are formed, and how relative ages are determined. Essential Question(s) How is sedimentary rock formed, how are fossils formed, and how is relative age determined? SPI Fossils

Notes SPI Fossils What Are Fossils?  Fossils are the preserved physical remains of deceased organisms that are at least 10,000 years old  NOTE: Most organisms DO NOT become fossils after death  NOTE: The formation of fossils is a RARE event How Are Fossils Formed?

How is Sedimentary Rock Formed?  Sediment refers to particles of dirt, rock, and debris suspended in liquid. Sedimentary rock is formed from this. Example: Muddy water is brown because dirt particles are in it Sedimentary Process and Fossils: A) Erosion and weathering breaks off small particles of dirt and rock which are washed away. B) These particles accumulate somewhere else into layers. C) Deceased organisms sometimes accumulate in these layers D) Under certain rare conditions, these organisms become fossils E) Over time layers pile up on top of pre-existing layers Formation of Sedimentary Rock  Watch this: Link: Video-How Sedimentary Rock FormsVideo-How Sedimentary Rock Forms  Watch this: Link: Video-Sedimentary Rock FormationVideo-Sedimentary Rock Formation Notes SPI Fossils Science

Sedimentary rock and fossils  deeper layers are older than layers above it because deeper layers accumulated before later layers. Example: See 3 layers below…Layer A, Layer B, and Layer C Layer C is older than layer B. So fossils in deeper layers are older than fossils above it. Layer A Layer B Layer C B is older than A This is called the law of superposition So fossil one is older than fossil two
