This is a modified true/false quiz. When the statement is true, simply put a “T”, when it is false, put an “F”, followed by correcting the underlined portion of the statement to make it true. Example: Biologists are geologists who specialize in the study of fossils. ANS: F; Paleontologists

1.An important fossil used for correlating strata to help predict the location and depth of valuable rock layers is known as an index fossil. 2.Relative dating is a means that geochemists use to derive the absolute dates of the origin of rock layers, through use of technologies. 3.A stratigraphic column is a cylindrical piece of rock removed from the Earth by a large drill, similar to the ones used in oil wells.

4. The Principle of Original Horizontality states that when a new rock layer forms, it is usually laid down on top of another layer that was laid down at some earlier time. 5. Fossils may be imprints, or the actual remains of ancient life, preserved in the rocks. ***BONUS*** 10 points Describe ONE reason why the fossil record is incomplete.
