Why is phacops rana a type of trilobite considered a good index fossil to use to estimate the age of a layer?
Phacops rana is considered a good index fossil because it lived during a specific geological period, primarily the Devonian, which allows geologists to date rock layers accurately. Its widespread distribution and distinctive morphology make it easily recognizable and useful for correlating the ages of different rock formations. Additionally, it existed for a relatively short geological time span, enhancing its effectiveness in identifying and dating specific strata.
What was Robert hooke contrion to the cell theory?
was an english scientist who lived at the same time as vanleeuwenhoek
What could you conclude if a dinosaur fossil and a bird fossil were found in the same layer of rocks?
We would conclude that the bird and the dinosaur lived around the same time.
What layer is most likely to have organisms that lived at the same time as the bear species?
The layer most likely to have organisms that lived at the same time as a specific bear species would be the one corresponding to the same geological time period in which that bear existed. For example, if the bear species is from the Pleistocene epoch, then the associated layer would contain fossils and remains from that epoch, indicating contemporaneous organisms. Typically, this would be a fossil-rich stratum within the same geological formation or sequence.
What type of rock will most likely contain the fossils of animals that once lived in the ocean?
Sedimentary rock is the most likely type of rock to contain fossils of animals that once lived in the ocean. This is because sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can entomb and preserve the remains of organisms over time.
What animals lived in the time of the Aztecs?
Different animals
Which fossil is most likely to be found in the same age bedrock as centroceras?
A fossil that is likely to be found in the same age bedrock as Centroceras is a marine organism such as other types of algae, foraminifera, or marine invertebrates like brachiopods or ammonites. These organisms lived in similar environments and time periods as Centroceras, making them common in the same age bedrock layers.
Were there dinosaurs that lived in sea?
No! Although this is a common mistake, all dinosaurs were land animals. All animals that lived in the sea at the same time as the dinosaurs weren't actually classed as dinosaurs even though they have similarities :)
Did starfish live during the same time as dinosaurs?
Yes, all animals we have now lived then, just some that lived then have gone extinct so we don't have them now.
What are the other plants and animals that live at the same time as the saber-toothed cat?
I'm not sure about plants, but animals that lived at the same time as the saber toothed cat would be: Terror birds, early humans, woolly mammoths, woolly rhiocerous. ~ ~Sleenky
Two people who were alive at the same time in history lived in the same what?
Two people who were alive at the same time in history lived in the same era.
What other animals lived in the time period of the sauropodomorpha?
dogs
What people of Mexico lived around the same time as the Mound Builders?
The Maya of Mexico lived around the same time as the Mound Builders
What two people lived at the same time Charles Dickens lived?
Queen Victoria and Abraham Lincoln lived at the same time as Charles Dickens.
Where the stegosaurus and the triceratops friends?
Stegosaurus lived 80 million years before Triceratops evolved. They were both herbivores, so they wouldn't have been natural enemies even if they had lived at the same time. If they had lived at the same time though, they probably wouldn't have been "friends" either, because most species only form relationships of any kind with animals of their own species.
How can geologists tell about plants and animals that lived on earth a long time ago?
Well, most of the time geologists find fossils of plants and animals, and then study them to find out how long ago the plant(or animal) lived.
What is the name for the remains of plants and animals that lived a long time ago?
fossils
