Is a piece of pottery an example of fossil?
No, a piece of pottery is not an example of a fossil. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, while pottery is a human-made object. Pottery is typically made by shaping and firing clay or other materials, whereas fossils are formed through the natural processes of fossilization.
How can archaeological and palaeontology findings of human evolution prove the out of Africa theory of human migration?
Archaeology is the study of 'human activity' and palaeontology is the study of 'fossils'. Meaning that whenever someone found bones/fossils, palaeontology has helped use DNA to find how long the bones/fossils have been there for. Archaeology has helped prove what palaeontology found out.
Why is Africa the cradle of human kind?
Palaeoanthropologists have over the years gathered, from within the Sterkfontein caves close to Krugersdorp, South Africa, approximately one third of all fossil evidence of human ancestors discovered in the world, providing strong evidence that humankind has its origins in Africa. Hence "The cradle of humankind".
What three kinds of information can geologists gather from a study of fossils?
The three kinds of information can geologists gather from a study of fossils is amber fossil, trace fossil, and the carbon film. Wait a second, no that's not right. Those are just three kinds of fossils. Those aren't three kinds of information.1. Fossils tell scientists the types and sizes of animals that lived in the distant past;2. Tests made on fossils tell scientists approximately how long ago they lived;3. The types of materials in which fossils are found tell scientists the area where the fossil first died, the cooling rates of some different materials, and the times of lava flows, as well as other items of information;4. Comparing different fossils of the same type, from different areas, tells scientists the times of certain geologic events, such as an ice age, or a volcanic eruption;5. The layers of rock (or soil) in which fossils are found can tell scientists some of the geologic history of the geographical area in which the fossil was found. For example, sometimes seashell fossils are found in the rock of high mountains! That can only mean that the high mountain was once on the floor of an ocean or river. Over time, plate movement, volcanic eruption, and earthquakes have moved the old ocean floor (or river bottom) 'way up to the top of a mountainThere you go.
The fossil record is not complete because?
The fossil record of all species is not complete because the circumstances for fossils to occur is very rare. There must be a special type of sediment, a special type of death (not partially eaten). Therefore, not all species or mutations can be accounted for, however, there are documented fossils for most species or at least close relations
Why are fossils not found in other kinds of rock except sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is when a fossil is found inside it.
What fossil used to compare the relative ages of fossils?
An index fossil. An index fossil's age is known, allowing scientists to know the relative age of other fossils based on their position relative to the index fossil. (Ex. If a fossil is deeper in the earth, it is older than the index fossil)
Do fossil records help to date fossils?
Fossil records contain radiation, and the older the fossil is, the less radiation it gives off. Scientists study how much radiation is in the fossil record, and they find out how old the earth is.
A scientist who studies the fossil record of human evolution is an?
paleoanthropologist. They analyze fossils, artifacts, and other evidence to understand the origins and evolution of hominids and human ancestors.
Are all fossil animals dinosaurs?
No not all fossils animals are dinosaurs. They still are snail fossils and other fossils.
How do you get the next fossil?
I'm not sure what fossils you're looking for, but you can get Helix ,Dome,Amber,Armour and Skull Fossils. In Diamond, you can get a Skull Fossil. In Pearl you can get a Armour Fossil. All other fossils can be gotten after both games.
Is Sahara some of the earliest human fossils have been found?
No, the Sahara desert is not where some of the earliest human fossils have been found. The earliest human fossils have been discovered in other parts of Africa, such as the Great Rift Valley and South Africa. The Sahara, being a desert, is not conducive to preserving fossils from this early period.
What fossils were found in South Dakota?
South Dakota is known for its rich fossil deposits, including fossils of dinosaurs like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex. Other fossils found in the state include marine reptiles, mammals, and plant remains dating back millions of years. The Badlands National Park and the Black Hills region are particularly well-known for their fossil discoveries.
What are the fossils in the mirage tower?
Well when you acquire one of the fossils in the desert the other fossil you didn't choose will appear in mirage tower so it can be either the root fossil or claw fossil.
How you can found aerodactyl in HeartGold?
Aerodactyl FOSSILS can be found in the ruins of alph, among other places. The fossil is called OLD AMBER to REVIVE the fossil, you have to beat the elite 4 and get to Pewter City in KANTO. Hope that helped!:)
What are traces or remains of organisms that lived in the past?
Fossils are proof of organisms that lived long ago
What are the three criteria that must be met in order for a fossil to be considered an index fossil?
An index fossil is organisms that is a signature for certain geographical eras. Index fossils are a charting of time that is used to describe other organisms found in that time era. The fossils were found in the stones that are determinations by carbon indexing and therefore are index fossils.
