1) What are the five types of fossils ?
Mold and casts, Petrified fossils, carbon films, trace fossils and preserved remains.
2) What is a paleontologist?
A paleontologist is a scientist who study fossils.
3) How fossil forms ?
A fossil may form when sediment quickly covers an animal's body.
4) What fossil record provides ?
The fossil record provides evidence to support the theory of evolution. The fossil record also provides evidence about the history of life and past environments on Earth. The fossil, record also shows that different groups of organisms have changed over time.
5) What means "extinct" and which animal got "extincted" ?
Extinct is when a type of organism no longer exists and will never live on earth. Dinosaurs are extinct.
6) What are the four steps of a fossil forming ?
First an animal dies and sinks into shallow water, then sediment covers the animal, after that, the sediment becomes rock, preserving parts of the animal at last weathering and erosion eventually expose the fossil at the surface.
7) Where does fossils come from?
Fossils come from ancient organisms.
8) What does paleontologists do?
Paleontologists classify organisms. They group similar organisms together. They arrange organisms in the order in which they lived, from earliest to latest.
9) Give five example of old animals.
Coryphodon, Phenacodus, Uintatherium, Hyracotherium, and frigate birds.
10) How does Carbon films form?
Carbon films form when sediment buries an organism, some of the materials that make up the organism evaporate, or become gases. These gases escape from the sediment, leaving carbon behind. Eventually only a thin film carbon remains. This process can preserve the delicate parts of plant leaves and insects.
