Fossils

It is living matter that has become mineralized (fossilized).

yes. it depends on the temperature of the amber. yes. it depends on the temperature of the amber.

The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms from magma; no chance for fossils to form there. Metamorphic rocks are other rock types that are changed by heat and pressure; their transformation and mineral reorganization causes very few fossils to be found there. Sedimentary rock can be formed from the accumulation of sediments and are often formed near ancient shores, basins, and lake beds. If an organism dies and is covered by sediments before being rotted or eaten by predatory organisms, it could eventually become part of the sedimentary layer that becomes rock.

Fossil rocks are rocks containing the bones of ancient animals like dinosaurs. Also the shells of clams, snails, sea urchins, corals, plants: in fact the remains, traces or indications of life in the past

The sediments which make up the rocks on the highest mountains were once at the bottom of an ocean, (where the animals lived), and were only pushed up by the action of Plate Tectonics.

This is known as amber.

relative and absolute. relative is determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age. Absolute is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.

Fossilised ancient life-forms. There are even fossilsed bacteria from 30 billion years ago.

The sum of all the fossils that exist is called that fossil record. It includes fossils from all geologic time periods.

Fossils are formed from millions of years ago when sometime during the extinction of the dinosaurs, their skeletons get caught in rocks during Earth's process of Erosion. Fossils of other prehistoric creatures, like the Sea Monsters, were fossilized earlier before and/or after the K-1 Event.

First of all, evolution is a FACT not a theory. You must be referring to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. There is no denying the fact that evolution happens, scientists just didn't know exactly how it worked until Darwin suggested one plausible scientific explanation which he called natural selection. Natural selection is simply the change in allele frequencies of an organism which results that organism becoming either better or worse suited to survive in its environment. Being better suited to survive means that the organism is more likely to pass on the beneficial genetic trait to it's offspring.

Rather than asking for evidence which helps prove evolution, try looking for verifiable scientific evidence which disproves it. After all, science is not about making claims and looking for evidence to prove them, but rather generating hypothesis and looking for ways to disprove them.

When an organism is buried it is usually in sedementary rock, which is sof and layered. Over time the layers of sedements compact and can soak into the bones of an organism. As the bones are put under extreme pressure the become more like rocks and are thus presserved.

Scientists can learn from a fossil of animal by its age, diet, and physical characteristics, depending on the condition of the fossil. For example, scientists would not be able to tell of a hominid was a new species or not if a few bones were missing, because of the fact that they could determine different or similar traits than other species of hominid.

Paleontology is the study of fossils, therefore a paleontologist is a person who studies fossils.

Petrification occurs when body parts of the organism are replaced by minerals dissolved in ground water. For example, a buried tree may have its wood replaced over millions of years by silica that is dissolved in the surrounding ground water.

As long as the online class teaches the rules of your state, then an online class would be helpful. If it's just basic information, it could be a waste of time. Be sure you practice driving with your child.

In the cross section, examine the different layers. The layer at the very bottom will be the oldest, and the one above would be slightly newer, and the one above that even newer, and so on, until the most recent rock layer is found at the top. Therefore, the layer you study will depend on those features. If you know the age of one layer, you will know the relative age of another.

Body fossils and trace fossils are the principal types of evidence about ancient life, and geochemical evidence has helped to decipher the evolution of life before there were organisms large enough to leave fossils. Estimating the dates of these remains is essential but difficult: sometimes adjacent rock layers allow radiometric dating, which provides absolute dates that are accurate to within 0.5%, but more often paleontologists have to rely on relative dating by solving the "jigsaw puzzles" of biostratigraphy.Classifying ancient organisms is also difficult, as many do not fit well into the Linnean taxonomy that is commonly used for classifying living organisms, and paleontologists more often use cladistics to draw up evolutionary "family trees". The final quarter of the 20th century saw the development of molecular phylogenetics, which investigates how closely organisms are related by measuring how similar the DNA is in their genomes. Molecular phylogenetics has also been used to estimate the dates when species diverged, but there is controversy about the reliability of the molecular clock on which such estimates depend.
