Plants and arthropods moving ashore during the Silurian, followed by tetrapods in the Devonian.
: Physical remains of the organism, such as bones, teeth, shells, or petrified wood. Trace Fossils (Ichnology)
To finalize your presentation, tell me:
An intrusive rock layer or fault is younger than the rock it cuts across. Slide 13: Biostratigraphy and Index Fossils
End with a few discussion questions to consolidate learning. Ask: "Why do we study fossils?" (Possible answers: to understand evolution, to reconstruct past climates, to find natural resources, to prepare for future environmental changes). Then provide resources for further exploration: museum websites, citizen science projects, and recommended books.
