Summary

This animation shows the fossilization by permineralization of a living organism (the example used is a trilobite). The time scale is consistent with the dimensions of the principle stages in the transformation of a fossil to rock.

Decomposition of organic (soft) parts

Burial of the carapace (exoskeleton) by sediments

Permineralization of the exoskeleton

Geological processes

Erosion bringing the buried fossil to the surface

Learning goals

To illustrate the basic processes involved in the fossilization process.

To become aware of the vastness of the Geological Time Scale.
