As a result, rocks that are otherwise similar, but are now separated by a valley or other erosional feature, can be assumed to be originally continuous.]]> 2018-01-23 17:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223908603 304420 https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223909043 Cross-cutting relationships is a principle of geology that states that the geologic feature which cutsanother is the younger of the two features.

Most fossils do not contain actual body parts but are impressions, molds or casts of the original organism. Essentially, a mold fossil forms when the organic matter of the organism decomposes and leaves a cavity, or mold.]]> 2018-01-23 17:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223910634 304420 https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223911374 Petrified wood is the name given to a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation.

Many fossil trackways were made by dinosaurs, early tetrapods, and other quadrupeds and bipeds on land. Marine organisms also made many ancient trackways]]> 2018-01-23 17:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223911852 304420 https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223912229 A coprolite is fossilized feces. Coprolites are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils, as they give evidence for the animal's behaviour (in this case, diet) rather than morphology]]> 2018-01-23 17:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223912229 304420 https://padlet.com/304420/vcb8z5cg4yqm/wish/223913026 A true form fossil is a fossil of the whole/entire body of the organism, like an actual animal or animal part.
