What are two best environments to look for fossils?
areas along hillsides.. & ..layers of sedimentary rock ..
What are two kinds of information that scientists attempt to infer from the study of fossils?
Relative age of the rocks and the Paleo environment.
What do scientists use to date exact age of fossils?
For relatively recent fossils, dating by carbon 14 is the most accurate method. For older fossils it is necessary to analyse the geological layer in which they are found; fossils located in an undisturbed geological layer of a certain age, are the same age as the layer in which they are found, necessarily.
What are Two most common types of fossils?
There are a variety of types of fossils. These include cast fossils, mold fossils, petrified wood, as well as fossil fuels.
What are two kinds of fossils?
Answer:Trace fossils: fossils like burrows, tracks,and holes.Original remains: parts of body.
What Two things that paleontologists can learn from fossils?
one that they can learn there definitely was life before and 2 that our ancestors developed to form us humans
How do Paleontologists use the remains of the Trilobites?
Paleontologists use the fossils of different aged trilobites to identify the age of rock formations and fossils in other locations. Similar trilobites found in British Columbia as found in Asia would indicate the rock was nearly the same age from both sites. May also mean that the two locations were once close together, but moved away due to plate tectonics.
What are the two ways of dating fossils explain both?
carnivore
What are two of determining a fossils age?
The two methods are "RELATIVE DATING" and "ABSOLUTE DATING". :)
What are two ways of using fossils to date organisms?
superposition and carbon dating
What is a scientist called who studies rocks and fossils?
Strictly speaking these are two differing types of scientists. Petrologists study rocks and paleontologists study fossils. However both these disciplines are covered in the broader training of a geologist.
How do scientist use radioactive elements to determine the actual age of fossils?
scientist can determine a fossil's age in two ways: relative dating and absolute dating
What two ways do scientist use fossils to determine the environmental changes?
its radioactive dating and relative dating
What are two best environments to look for fossils?
areas along hillsides.. & ..layers of sedimentary rock ..
What is two ways scientists can date fossils found in earth?
Stratigraphy, the relative positon of fossils in a sediment bed, is a common method. Assuming the beds lie in their natural position.Dating by using radioactive decay is another method used mainly for sub-fossil material such as archaeological artifacts; or for materials of geological age.
What are the two ways to date a fossil?
Radioactive isotope dating (potassium, argon) and relative dating, comparing with fossils of the same characteristics with known dates. Particularly if they are known to be 'zone fossils'
What are two kinds of information that scientists attempt to infer from the study of fossils?
Relative age of the rocks and the Paleo environment.
