The oldest known fossil angiosperms, were found in Lower Cretaceous parts of North America.
Stromatolites.
Fossils of the earliest land plants come from the Ordovician period (roughly 450 million years ago).
In undisturbed strata, the oldest fossils will be the deepest from the surface.
Yes, the Sahara is known for containing some of the earliest human fossils, particularly in regions of North Africa such as present-day Morocco, Algeria, and Sudan. These fossils provide important insights into the evolution and migration of early humans.
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.
The earliest fossils represent plants.
Stromatolites.
The earliest known amphibian fossils can be dated back to 375 million years ago. The fossil of Elginerpeton was found in Scotland and was from the Late Devonian period.
Fossils of the earliest land plants come from the Ordovician period (roughly 450 million years ago).
In undisturbed strata, the oldest fossils will be the deepest from the surface.
True. Archaeopteryx is considered one of the earliest known bird fossils, dating back to the Late Jurassic period around 150 million years ago. It is a transitional species with both bird and dinosaur-like features.
Yes, the Sahara is known for containing some of the earliest human fossils, particularly in regions of North Africa such as present-day Morocco, Algeria, and Sudan. These fossils provide important insights into the evolution and migration of early humans.
A palaeophyte is any prehistoric plant, especially one which is known only from fossils.
The earliest known fossils of homo sapiens and related species all come from places in Africa.
Mary and Louis Leakey recovered fossils of Homo habilis, Paranthropus boisei, and Homo erectus from successive layers of sediment in the Gorge. Along with evidence of tool making, these fossils provide much information on increasing developmental and social complexities in the earliest humans.
No, mammals lived alongside dinosaurs and their earliest known fossils of about 200 million years old are almost contemporary with the early dinosaur fossils.
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.
