Naracoorte caves fossils. are they extinict or evolved?
Both! The fossils within limestone holding caves are of long-extinct animals, but they had still evolved to the species preserved as fossils.
Is it possible for a species to exist and yet never be preserved as a fossil?
Yes, fossilisation is a rare process especially on land. There will have been many species not preserved as fossils but it would be impossible to prove as there are no remains. It is also possible that many species were preserved in rocks but, due to tectonic processes, they were obliterated as the rocks were metamorphosed.
What is the estimated percent of bacterial species for which you know appropriate culture conditions?
Less than one percent.
What percentage of species are carnivores?
It is estimated that the percentage of species that are carnivores is between 40 and 60 percent. The others types of animals are not as many and carnivores.
If species didn't change what type of fossils would we see?
If there was no change in species over time, then all fossils of that species would be identical.
How do fossils that form in different rock layers provide evidence of evolution?
Fossils' existence confirms that species are not fixed but can evolve into other species over time
How do fossils show changes in related species?
Fossils are used to show changes because they are permanent. These fossils are also old and show evolutionary changes in species alive today.
Did they find dinosaurs in china?
Many species of dinosaur have been found in China. They are especially famous for well preserved fossils of small theropods that include the feathers. Three such dinosaurs that were found were Anchiornis, Microraptor, and Confuciusornis.
What kind of animal is most likly to be preserved?
A bison would be preserved because of it's endangered species.
Which layer is most likely to contain fossils that resemble existing species?
new layer of the fossils
How do fossils that formed in different rock layers provide evidence-of evolution?
Fossils' existence confirms that species are not fixed but can evolve into other species over time
What happened to the species that are now as index fossils?
they are used
