One kind of fossil forms from the body parts of organisms. What is another kind of fossil?
There are four types of fossils that can be found. These are true fossils, mold fossils, trace fossils and cast fossils.
Are fossils Decomposers?
No, fossils are dead, and have no biological action. Prior to fossilisation, an organism may have itself been partially broken down by decomposers, and the decomposing agents may themselves be fossilised (fossil worms, beetles and fungi are such examples).
Classification system that groups organism and shows evolutionary relationships based on multiple kinds of evidence such as fossils morphology embryology chromosomes and macromolecules?
Classification system having all properties asked in question is called phylogenetic classofication .
Are fossils young compared to the age of the Earth?
The oldest fossils found are considered to be from the late Archean period which ended 2500 million years ago. By contrast, the Earth is believed to be 4500 million years old. So, though both dates are amazingly old, the Earth is definitely older than the fossils.
What is the term describing the process of compare fossils in rock sequences in one area with fossils in rock sequences in other areas in order to relate the sequences with one another?
fossil correlation
What is the lineup of organisms that evolutionist use to show path of biological evolution?
fossils
Can fossils be used to determine the relative ages of rocks layers?
fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layer by using the classification of fossils to find the relative ages of rocks in which fossils are found. :] hoped i helped you out.
What are relative fossils?
Answer: The age of a rock compared to the ages of the rock layers.
Why are missing link fossils a powerful evidence for Creation and not for evolution?
Some people who reject the biblical account of Creation think that living things went though gradual changes (biological evolution) from one kind to another. In order to support their beliefs, they find fossils that, when lined up, seem to show a continuous change from simpler organisms to a much larger and more complex one. But fossils for the most part do not show gradual changes from one kind to another. They are clearly one kind or another not something in between. For example; fossils of mice exist and fossils of bats exist, but no fossils of half-winged, mouse like creatures have been found.

What is a sentence using the word classification?
The classification of fossils is difficult because they are usually only a small part of an extinct organism. The local Selective Service boards were responsible for the classification of men who were eligible for the military draft.

What is the main type of feature used in a biological key?
A biological key is also called an identification key. These are printed aids that help identify plants, fossils, animals, and other things.
What is a biological accumulation of the skeletal remains of plants and animals?
The biological accumulation of the skeletal remains of the plants and animals make up the fossils. A fossil refers to the trace of plants or animals that survived in the past.
How do fossils give evidence of biological evolution?
By looking at the fossils and seeing how they change over time.
Fossils on one continent may be similar to fossils on another continent. This observation supports which theory?
It supports the continental drift.
Are fossils Decomposers?
No, fossils are dead, and have no biological action. Prior to fossilisation, an organism may have itself been partially broken down by decomposers, and the decomposing agents may themselves be fossilised (fossil worms, beetles and fungi are such examples).
