Fossils
This category is for questions about the bones, fragments, imprints, and other remainders from a different time. The questions and answer you will find here are history set in stone -- our past, immortalized in solid rock. You will also be able to find questions pertaining to the locations of these fossils, how you might identify them, and how they were formed.

What would happen to the trace fossils on the hermit trail if tourists walked on them?

Tar pits form when crude oil seeps to the surface through fissures in the Earth's crust; the light fraction of the oil evaporates, leaving behind the heavy tar, or asphalt, in sticky pools.
What name is given to a in between or half evolved organism for which no fossil has been found?
the answere is the missing link... you can check by looking at page 145 in the life science book third edition :D
What is the geologic age of the bedrock at Syracuse?
The bedrock in Syracuse, New York, belongs to the Marcellus Formation, which is a Devonian-aged formation, approximately 390-370 million years old.
Why fossils that form in sediments usually only include the hard parts of animals?
Dead animals are usually scavenged by other animals, scattering parts of their carcass to various locations. Rotting carcasses are also dismembered by the decomposition processes which remove connective tissue. For a whole animal to be preserved it must be covered quickly by the best possible sediment, under the right conditions, truly a rare occurence.

Which sentence from the article best supports the answer to part A?
"A recent study by University of Texas researcher Jakob Vinther and colleagues is a wonderful example of the high-tech tools many modern palaeontologists use to understand fossils."
The age of the rock layer
Yyyyy
What are two ways that radiometric dating can be used to establish the age of a fossil.?
Direct testing of the fossil material itself or materials associated with it, and indirect testing of material in stratigraphic contexts that bookend the fossil (i.e. a lava flow over the top of the layer a fossil is contained in).
yes they are very dangerous, if you breathe next to it then you will die of fatal Tartarus Moricus. Symptons are : Fevers, Running nose, and Hyper activity. Hoped i helped!
In which process are fossils formed by the compression of dead organisms over time?
It would be carbonation.
Hope this helped:)
