Which features help explain why a certain organism fossilized so abundantly?
Three Reasons: 1) The organism lived/lives for a large period of time (species was/is in existence for a long time) 2) The organism lived/lives over a vast geographical range (species lived/lives in more than just a few specific areas) 3) The organism has/had hard parts (ex: bones)
Which is not a factor in a fossil organism being useful as an index fossil?
it must have lived through a long span of time
Where did the organism lived?
The organism lived in a variety of habitats including the ocean, forests, grasslands, and deserts. Its specific location would depend on the species and its adaptations to different environments.
What is it that tells a geologist when where and how an organism lived?
a blank is the cavity left behind in the rock after an organism hard part has dissolved
What may tell a geologist when where and how an organism lived?
Geologists can infer when, where, and how an organism lived by examining fossilized remains, which provide information about the organism's structure and age through radiometric dating. Sedimentary rock layers can indicate the environment in which the organism existed, such as aquatic or terrestrial settings. Additionally, the presence of specific isotopes or trace elements in the fossils can reveal insights into the organism's diet and the climate of the period. Overall, the context of the fossil within its geological setting is crucial for understanding its life history.
How long ago an organism lived?
yes
What is evidence of an organism that lived long ago called?
Fossil
What word refers to traces of an organism that existed in the past?
A fossil is a trace of an organism that lived long ago.

What is the fossilized remains of an organism that lived?
Teeth
Where did the organism lived?
The organism lived in a variety of habitats including the ocean, forests, grasslands, and deserts. Its specific location would depend on the species and its adaptations to different environments.
The oldest fossil organism found lived approximately how many years ago?
The oldest fossil organism found lived approximately 3.5 billion years ago. The fossil is that of a single-celled organism called Archaea.
Most fossil evidence is of organism that lived near?
water
Is the preserved remains or traces of an organism that lived in the past.?
fossil.
What is it that tells a geologist when where and how an organism lived?
a blank is the cavity left behind in the rock after an organism hard part has dissolved
What will happen if an organism from a different niche is transferred to another habitat?
the organism cannot be fully developed and lived in a cage.
