Fossils

Some Amish communities do restrict the use of fossil fuels due to their commitment to living simply and in harmony with nature. They may use alternative energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines to meet their energy needs. However, there are variations in practices among different Amish communities.

Fossils, defined as the physical remains of past life, provide invaluable information to scientists. They not only provide a picture of a long-distant past, but also information that can be used to understand the evolution of today's plants and animals and clues for the future of our planet.

If water plants lived in an area of volcanic hot springs such as Yellowstone Park, the silica in the water would gradually be absorbed into the cells of the plants. This kills the plants over time but it also preserves their structure in a rock called chert.

The 410 million year old Rhynie Chert in Scotland is a good example of early plants preserved in this way.

When an isotope in the rock decays, a new isotope or element is formed. This process is known as radioactive decay, where the original isotope changes into a different element or isotope through the emission of particles or energy.

The earliest primate identifiable from the fossil record is believed to be a group of creatures called Plesiadapiforms. These small mammals lived around 65 million years ago and are thought to be ancestral to modern primates.

544 million years ago was the Proterozoic era. This was before visible life on the planet. This long ago the inhabitants wouldn't necessarily leave a fossil. If there is a lack of fossil evidence after this that means there was a mass extinction in this part of the world, and nothing survived to have children to leave fossils. Eventually another species will migrate in but until that happens there would be no fossil evidence.

Limestones are sedimentary rocks made of skeletal remains. Limestones are recognizable because they react with Acid.

Crystalline limestone are micro skeletons with large visible crystals.

Micritic limestone is lithographic limestone and it is basically fine grained mud with micro-skeletons.

Fossiliferous limestone is made with whole fossils in my experience mostly shells.

Coquina is parts of skeletons pressed together. The difference between coquina and fossiliferous is that coquina doesn't have whole fossils.

Lastly there is chalk. This is a lot of microorganisms remains pressed together.

fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming, heating uo the planet, and seeing as many power stations are located around the world that the effect that these gases have is incredibly big. in the future scientist expect that coal will run out in 101 years, gas will run out in 57 years and oil will run out in 43. in the future they could cause the world to be unhealthy because people would be trying to make more coal, oil and gas. mostly oil. to stop this we would just have to try and use less fossil fuels. instead of having 3 cars just have two. or take in turns to drive eachother to the same place, that would be saving some oil and it would last longer.....

This is not so. The term Fossil Fuel was coined by DJ Rockafeller who wanted to manipulate the markets and had organisations could agree to the term so that he couldf make a killing on what is in actual fact natural fuels generated by our planet. This has nothing to do with dinosaurs or similar being fossilized!

Petrified wood is usually silicified. Specimens could be washed with a mild detergent, small brush and plenty of water and left to dry naturally. Most petrified wood would be naturally resistant to weathering.

hard parts on the outside of the organism means that the potential fossil is more

likely to survive as increasing pressures are placed on the potential fossil when

sediments are placed on top.

The evolutionary evidence presented by mammals in Australia includes unique marsupial mammals like kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies, which are endemic to the continent. The presence of prehistoric marsupial fossils in Australia supports the idea of an ancient lineage of mammals distinct from placental mammals found elsewhere. The diversity and adaptations of Australian mammals, such as the egg-laying monotremes like the platypus and echidna, further highlight the evolutionary history of mammals in Australia.

A trace of a long dead organism could be a fossilized imprint, track, or remains left behind in sedimentary rock. These traces provide valuable information about the organism's existence, behavior, and environment in the past. Scientists study these traces to learn more about ancient life on Earth.

Mucrospirifer fossils are found in sedimentary rocks because these rocks are formed from the accumulation of sediments, which can preserve fossils over time. The organisms that formed mucrospirifer shells lived in marine environments where their shells could be buried and preserved in the sediment. Sedimentary rocks provide the ideal conditions for fossilization to occur due to the gradual accumulation and compaction of sediments over millions of years.

As of now, Madeleine McCann has not been found. She went missing in 2007 and her case remains unsolved.

the yellow dots on your lower screen radar are the fossils and you either have to dive or swim up on the dot to find them.

some of them needs special monsters to find them eg. Temnodontosaur to do deep dives, and Hendodus to dig etc.

Fossils found in the lowest geological strata are generally more primitive than those found in higher strata. This principle is known as the Law of Superposition, which states that older rocks are found below younger rocks in undisturbed layers, reflecting the progression of life forms over time.

Amber is the clear golden material where insect fossils can be found. It forms from tree resin that hardens over time, preserving insects and other organisms trapped within it. Amber provides valuable insights into prehistoric ecosystems and the evolution of insects.

Fossil evidence suggests that the earliest bacteria on Earth lived around 3.5 billion years ago. These ancient bacteria were simple single-celled organisms that played a crucial role in the early stages of life on Earth.

Yes, South America has been a known location for dinosaur fossils. Some significant dinosaur fossils have been discovered in countries like Argentina and Brazil, providing valuable insights into prehistoric life on the continent.

Index fossils are used to compare the relative ages of fossils. These are fossils that are known to have lived during a specific time period, helping to date the rock layers in which they are found. By identifying and comparing index fossils, scientists can determine the relative ages of different rock layers and fossils.

They study the bones and try to figure out what animal it might have been. They can also study the rock around the fossil to tell when the rock existed and therefore when the animal was alive. They can also study the type of rock to give an idea of what the animal liked or disliked.

It typically takes thousands to millions of years for a fossil to form, as the process involves the gradual replacement of organic material with minerals. However, under exceptional conditions such as rapid burial or extreme environmental conditions, fossils can form more quickly in as little as a few thousand years.

Nuclear fuel produces millions of times more power than coal, and relatively speaking it is considerably safer. Coal burning is estimated to have caused several million deaths due to the mining in particular leading to respiratory disease. The secondary effects of coal burning on humans are the environmental affects which kill thousands every year. Coal burning will always cause environmental damage when nuclear power does not necessarily do this. Current nuclear reactors are based on nuclear fission, which do have the potential to cause a large amount of environmental damage if not handled correctly. Current research into nuclear FUSION power means that in a matter of decades we will posses extremely safe, efficient, nearly unlimited and non-radioactive power production.

The state fossil of Georgia is the shark tooth. This fossil represents the state's rich history and connection to the ocean. Georgia designated the shark tooth as its state fossil in 1976.
