16
Q

Permineralization

A

Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)

16
Q

Permineralization

A

Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)

16
Q

Permineralization

A

Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)

17
Q

Recrystalization

A

Original composition change to crystal (great detail)

18
Q

Carbonization

A

Under pressure liquid/gas is forced out leaving film of carbon (only outside surface detail)

19
Q

Trace fossils

A

Animal tracks, gastroliths, coprolites

20
Q

Animal tracks

A

Footprints (calculate stride/how anima moves)

21
Q

Gastroliths

A

Herbivores matter in stomach, snooty polished stone (what they ate)

22
Q

Coprolites

A

Fossil poops (bones of prey, seeds, plants)

23
Q

Evidence for evolution

A

Fossils
Homologus structures
Analogous structures
Vestigial structures
Comparative-embryology
Comparative-biochemistry genetic-evidence
Artificial selection
Industrial melanism
Transitional fossils
Radiometric dating

24
Q

Homologus structures

A

Same bone, dif structure

25
Q

Analogous structure

A

Same function, dif bone

26
Q

Vestigial structures

A

Non function structure

27
Q

Competitive embryology

A

Early embryo look the same

28
Q

Comparative biochemistry genetic evidence

A

Human dna similar to monkey dna

29
Q

Artificial selection

A

Choosing traits so why can’t this happen naturally

30
Q

Industrial melanism

A

Moths colour change bc of factories

31
Q

Transitional fossils

A

From one animal to another

32
Q

Agassiz
