Investigates the fossils of animals with backbones, spanning from early fishes to mammals.
Using CT scans and molecular biology to find "soft tissue" signatures in "stone". Slide 7: Why Does It Matter?
Preserved remains, impressions, or traces of organisms (shells, bones, footprints).
: Organisms trapped in fossilized tree resin. introduction to paleontology ppt exclusive
Studies microscopic organisms (e.g., foraminifera, radiolarians) that are fundamental for oil exploration and deep-time climate reconstruction. Module B: Taphonomy and Fossilization
Without fossils, we would not know about dinosaurs. We would not know how life changed over time. How Fossils Form
Highlight exceptional preservation sites like the Burgess Shale or the Solnhofen Limestone. Module 4: The Evolutionary Arc Investigates the fossils of animals with backbones, spanning
The scientific study of life in the geologic past, based on the examination of fossilized remains.
Fossilization is rare. It requires specific conditions, usually rapid burial to prevent decay. Key types include:
