“Evolution”
Chp. 14-2 What Fossils Show
I. Fossils
A. Definition 1. The remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past B. Where found 1. Located in rocks, in tree sap, shells and other materials
II. Types of fossils A. Skeletons 1. Dinosaur skeletons are fossil types 2. Soft material/parts of an organism rapidly decay, bone and teeth become fossils for millions of years B. Sediment 1. If when an organism does and is buried in mud/dirt known as sediment and found below water 2. Over time layers of sediment harden into rock C. Mold 1. When trapped remains leave an impression 2. The mold is an empty space inside the rock a. materials or water may fill rock and harden into a cast
1. the cast resembles the remains that formed the mold
What do we know?
• Creatures have changed over time• How do we know this?

III. The fossils record
A. Paleontologists 1. scientists who study life in the past, look for and study fossils 2. their findings form a fossil record
B. Fossil record 1. Tells how old fossils are 2. Tells how organisms have changed over time
What has the fossil record shown us?• Many creatures that lived in the past don’t
exist today
Origin of new species Origin of
new species
OBSERVATIONOBSERVATION
What has the fossil record shown us?• The creatures alive today haven’t
always been around
Different species lived in the pastDifferent species lived in the past
OBSERVATIONOBSERVATION
What has the fossil record shown us?• Many creatures in the past looked like living
ones we see today

IV. Dating fossils
A. Relative age
1. Fossils can be dated by comparing their locations in rock 2. Relative age shows if older or younger than other fossils 3. Fossils in lowers areas are older than those in upper layers – as lower rocks were formed first
B. Actual age
1. Tells the numbers of years ago the fossil formed
2. Use radioactive mineral to determine
a. these minerals give off energy as they decay into another substance over time
3. Measured in units called half-life
a. time it takes for ½ the mineral to decay

V. Extinction
A. Fossil record shows some organisms lived and one time then disappeared
B. When disappeared known as extinction
C. As one species becomes extinct, a new species appears
D. Mass extinction
1. Ending of a large new of species at one time
2. Dinosaurs and other reptiles became extinct about 65 million years ago
VI. Fossils and evolution
A. Fossils show how groups of organisms change over time 1. Evolution of an organism
B. Ex – horse
1. 50 million years ago a horse had 4 toes on front foot, less than 48 cm tall (about size of a dog)
2. As it evolved the 4 toes became a hoof and became larger
VII. Fossils and living organisms
A. Paleontologist learned more about fossils by comparing them to today’s living organisms
B. Look for similarities in teeth, structure and bones then compare environments
C. By studying they are able to discover relationships
VIII. Hunting for fossils today
A. Paleontologists still search for fossils today
B. As fossils are formed, they try to fit the info into the history of life on Earth C. New techniques and technology help scientists learn more info from fossils
1. DNA a. Compare fossil DNA to living organism’s DNA
b. Use this info to see how organisms evolved or the relationships between organisms
