If a large meteor were to hit earth today then many species would die and only certain organisms that can survive in extreme conditions will survive. This will change the environment and will cause any living organisms to adapt to the change.

Fossils cant survive in any others. Cant handle heat or pressure in metamorphic or igneous rocks

# data[].attributes.body
Most organisms decompose before they can become fossilized.

The law of superposition states that younger layers of rocks are deposited on top of older layers. The method it supports is relative dating.

# data[].attributes.body
Law of Superposition: Younger layers of sediment and rock are closer to the surface than older ones.

# data[].attributes.body
It would kill a lot of living animals and plants, but there would be left over pieces of the meteor.

# data[].attributes.body
sedimentary because fossils can't survive the heat/pressure of igneous and metamorphic rock

# data[].attributes.body
Paleontologists can infer what the organism was, and how old the organism was. Also it's diet, how it lived, and the environment it lived in.

# data[].attributes.body
Paleontologists can infer what lived and how old the fossil is. Also what it ate and the living environment of the Earth

# data[].attributes.body
A basic law of geochronology stating that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest on the bottom, each layer being younger than the one beneath it and older than the one above it. It supports relative dating.

periods (smallest), eras (middle), geologic time scale (largest

# data[].attributes.body
The terms in order from largest to smallest are geologic time scale, eras, and periods. The geologic time scale is used to understand the entire existence of the Earth. The time scale is broken into more specific eras, with even more specific periods.

# data[].attributes.body
Most organisms decompose before they can become fossilized

# data[].attributes.body
Geologic time scale: expresses major geological and biological changes in Earth's history. Next largest is eras. And last is periods which are broken up eras.

# data[].attributes.body
Sedimentary. Fossils can't form in igneous or metamorphic rock layers because they can't survive the heat and pressure involved in the formation of either rock layers

# data[].attributes.body
Fossils would only be found in sedimentary rock. You would be unable to find fossils in metamorphic and igneous rock because the process that both igneous and metamorphic rock go through involve extreme heat and the remains of an organism would be unable to survive the heat. Therefore you will not find fossils in any other rock layer other than sedimentary.

# data[].attributes.body
The law of superposition implies that younger layers of rock are deposited on top of older layers. This supports relative dating.

# data[].attributes.body
Periods-A small amount of time.

Era-A grouping of Periods

Geologic time scale -The overall scaling of many Eras

# data[].attributes.body
Most organisms decompose before they get a chance to fossilize. Especially if it wasn't fossilizing in sedimentary rock.

# data[].attributes.body
It would kill off lots of living things and change the environment, the remaining living things would have to adapt to the changing environment to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
Paleontologists can infer what animals lived before us, what time period they lived in, what they ate, and their habitat/environment
