From the Indiana University of Bloomington, the state that, "They [Fossils] can help us determine the geologic age and environment (the paleoenvironment) in which they were deposited." This means that fossils, based on their location, can reveal certain enviroments in the past. Alongside this, the appearance of the fossil itself also gives scientists a look at what past organisms looked like. All in all, fossils offer an in depth look at what the world may have been like in the past.]]> 2020-10-27 18:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/866958643 Hans Gildore - 3rd Core hansgildore https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/867014847 Fossils can reveal a good amount of the Earth's history. Through a citation from the Indiana Geological & Water Survey, "Fossils of any kind are useful in "reading the rock record," meaning they help us decipher the history of the earth. They can help us determine the geologic age and environment (the paleoenvironment) in which they were deposited. Finally, and if the fossil record is complete enough, their study can help us better understand the evolution (or progression) of life through geologic time." this tells us that the fossils reveal elements such as geological age, environment (more known as the paleoenvironment), and evolution of life through the ages. These fossils take into account of all these elements in order to help us see what had happened in the past of Earth's history. With that in mind, fossils help us reveal certain elements that had existed long ago.]]> 2020-10-27 18:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/867014847 Connor O'Neill 1st Core connoroneill1 https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/872951349 Fossils can reveal many things about the Earth's past. Fossils can tell us what past like looked like and how certain events happen. For example in the text "Fossils" by Indiana Geological it states- "When the regional or global distribution of fossils through geologic time is taken into consideration, we can gain important insights into such phenomena as continental drift, community migration, and climatic (paleoclimatic) reconstruction." This is stating that we can important insights through fossils like how the Earth moved millions and millions of years ago and how certain species originated and how they ended up where they are now (migration). As you can see these are all very important for the history of the world]]> 2020-10-29 13:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/872951349 Demo Sali 1st Period https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/872980067 Fossils can tell many things about the Earth's past/history. From a passage from Indiana University they gave solid evidence why fossils tell a lot about the Earth's past. For an example "past organisms, include leaf impressions, tracks and trails, burrows, droppings, and root casts." Fossils can also help determine geologic age and environment of the past. According to the passage "A very small fraction of the organisms that have lived on the Earth is found in the fossil", this is one of the key factors that can help us understand about the Earth's past and the animals that lived on Earth. The passage also says "we can gain important insights into such phenomena as continental drift, community migration, and climatic (paleoclimatic) reconstruction." Fossils can also help determine about Pangaea and migration of animals.]]> 2020-10-29 13:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/872980067 Krizia Troches Diaz, 3rd Core https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/874449015 Fossils can tell us about what the Earth was like 500 million years ago and the different plants and animals that lived there. In an excerpt from Indiana Univeristy Bloomington, they stated that “Fossils are physical evidence of preexisting organisms, either plant or animal.” They say that there can be many different types of fossils like, leaf impressions, tracks and trails, burrows, droppings, and root casts. Yet not all animals or plants were caught in fossils because, according to the text, “many didn’t possess skeletons or parts that could be preserved; many did not survive the process of fossilization, wherein skeletons and tissues are replaced by minerals; and many were subsequently destroyed either by the chemical or physical processes such as recrystallization, metamorphism, or erosion.” They also mention in the excerpt that “Fossils of any kind are useful in ‘reading the rock record’ meaning they help us decipher the history of the earth. They can help us determine the geologic age and environment (the paleoenviroment) in which they were deposited.” Fossils found all over the world helped paleontologists figure out that pangea was once a thing and when and where different animals were and migrated to during that time. With that being said, different fossils can help us determine what different eras were like and what animals and plants were there during that time period. But fossils in general can help us learn about earth’s history and we continue to find new fossils and learn more about the past each and every day.]]> 2020-10-29 18:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/874449015 Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms. Fossils are not the remains of the organism itself! They are rocks. A fossil can preserve an entire organism or just part of one. Bones, shells, feathers, and leaves can all become fossils. Fossils can be very large or very small. Microfossils are only visible with a microscope. Bacteria and pollen are microfossils. Macrofossils can be several meters long and weigh several tons. Macrofossils can be petrified trees or dinosaur bones. Preserved remains become fossils if they reach an age of about 10,000 years. Fossils can come from the Archaeaean Eon (which began almost 4 billion years ago) all the way up to the Holocene Epoch (which continues today). The fossilized teeth of wooly mammoths are some of our most "recent" fossils. Some of the oldest fossils are those of ancient algae that lived in the ocean more than 3 billion years ago. Fossilization The word fossil comes from the Latin word fossus, meaning "having been dug up." Fossils are often found in rock formations deep in the earth. Fossilization is the process of remains becoming fossils. Fossilization is rare. Most organisms decompose fairly quickly after they die. For an organism to be fossilized, the remains usually need to be covered by sediment soon after death. Sediment can include the sandy seafloor, lava, and even sticky tar.Paleontologists are people who study fossils. Paleontologists find and study fossils all over the world, in almost every environment, from the hot desert to the humid jungle. Studying fossils helps them learn about when and how different species lived millions of years ago. Sometimes, fossils tell scientists how the Earth has changed. medkodelong https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/874575132 2020-10-29 19:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/874575132 Faith Williams 1st period https://padlet.com/Watdog/dlnngxupqwcs9l4d/wish/874749972 A.

Some fossils that were recorded, can tell us how long their Life existed on earth. Fossils, Plants, and animals can also tell us how they are related to some fossils, plants, and animals we have in this day and age. Another thing that fossils reveal about earths past is how the plants or animals lived in their situation. By this I mean what type of animals lived in the cold and what type animals lived in the hot weather. Believe it or not possible very important to help us discover what went on before we New!

Fossils preserve remains of animals and plants that could have went extinct 100 million years ago or yesterday. With these, fossils can show what animals roamed the earth at a certain time and plants grew on the earth at a certain time. Fossils can also reveal information such as if a ocean was once where there is now dry land or if their is a volcano buried under this sea.

E- Fossils are proof that the current living species were not the only ones to live and roam the earth and that earth has history that goes million of years back. Fossils can help show that there is proof of living species millions of years ago and some living species have been preserved so that even though these animals and plants have been extinct for millions of years we can still learn about them and know they were here at one point.
