Paleontology

Relatively short rime span. To be an index fossil, a fossil organism must be easy to identify and many fossils of that organism must exist.

No. Think about it. Why do archaeologists usually have to dig down to find the remains of ancient civilizations? The same is true with sedimentary rock history.

The non-avian dinosaurs did not survive the mass extinction event at the end of the Mesozoic era, known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. These reptiles went extinct, paving the way for the rise of mammals and birds.

Mary Anning did her work along the Jurassic Coast in Lyme Regis, a town located in Dorset, England. She was a renowned fossil collector and paleontologist who made significant discoveries of Jurassic marine fossils in the cliffs and beaches of the area during the early 19th century.

During the Paleozoic Era, dominant plant forms included ferns, horsetails, and early seed plants like conifers and cycads. These plants were the main producers in terrestrial ecosystems, contributing to the diversity and abundance of life during this time period.

The K-T (Cretaceous and Tertiary) boundary event thought to have been caused by the impact of a large meteorite forming the Chicxulub crater as well as very large scale volcanic activity (in this case the large igneous province known as the Deccan Traps) is a very good example and is thought to have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Fossil records can help us understand past environments, evolution of species, extinction events, and the history of life on Earth. They can also provide insights into ancient ecosystems, behaviors of organisms, and the impact of environmental changes on life forms.

You are probably asking about the mass extinction at the Cretaceous-Mesozoic boundary, about 65 million years ago. We know that there was a major meteoric impact in the Yucatan peninsula at that time, which was at least partially involved in the mass extinction; some scientists believe that there were other contributing factors, but it remains a complicated and difficult issue to investigate.

The fossil record is life's evolutionary epic that unfolded over four billion years as environmental conditions and genetic potential interacted in accordance with natural selection. It shows us the changes species have incurred over millions of years.

The first Stegosaurus fossil was found in Morrison Formation rocks in Morrison, Colorado, in the United States in 1877 by paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh.

An index fossil must be of a rapidly evolving organism that only existed for a specific period of time, is easily recognizable, is abundantly preserved, and was widespread geographically. Most index fossils are therefore of marine organisms.

The Earth has given us many things that relate to gardening such as water, soil, oxygen, and sun. We can give the Earth some beauty since it has given us some beauty as well. We can also give the Earth a treat by gardening.

When prehistoric plants and microorganisms died in shallow prehistoric oceans and lakes, their remains settled at the bottom and were slowly buried under layers of sediment. Over time, pressure and heat transformed these organic materials into fossil fuels like oil and natural gas through a process called diagenesis.

The Cambrian period occurred approximately 541 million years ago, marking the beginning of the Paleozoic Era. The Pre-Cambrian is a broad division of time before the Cambrian period, encompassing about 4 billion years of Earth's history, including the formation of the planet and the evolution of life prior to complex multicellular organisms.

The supercontinent that formed at the end of the Paleozoic era is known as Pangaea. Pangaea began to break apart during the Mesozoic era, ultimately leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.

From the law of faunal succession,older beds are characterized by fossils of older age and the younger beds are characterized by younger age fossils.But in some exceptional condition the younger fossils are reported in the older formation and those are termed as leaked fossils.

whereas,Fossils of older age occur in younger rock are known as reworked fossils.They are derived from the older rocks by reworking ad recycling of sediments.

Near the end of the Paleozoic Era, during the Permian Period, all the continental plates were slowly coming together to form the supercontinent known as Pangaea. This movement led to the collision and merging of the continental plates, resulting in the formation of one large landmass.

There is no concrete evidence to suggest a mass extinction will occur in the Cenozoic era. Extinctions have happened throughout Earth's history, but predicting a mass event in a specific era is challenging. It is crucial to focus on conservation efforts to prevent any potential threats to biodiversity.

The ovary is the ovary before it is fertilizes (containing the ovules); after fertilization the ovary becomes the fruit and the ovules become the seeds

Mammoth Cave is typically associated with the Happy Hollow Member of the Girkin Limestone, which is a fossiliferous, marine limestone deposited in a shallow, tropical sea during the Mississippian Period. This limestone contains abundant fossilized shell fragments and marine organisms, reflecting the environment in which it was formed.

i would say that that is up to you....if you would want to pursue one of those things..you should do some research on it and see which interest you more as well as which one would provide you with the money you need to sustain the life you plan on living....but once again it is totaolly up to you. :)

Entertainment during the Elizabethan era included attending plays at theaters like The Globe, listening to music, dancing, attending masquerade balls, and watching or participating in sports like bear-baiting or jousting. Popular forms of entertainment also included poetry readings, gambling, and socializing at taverns.
