[move] paleontologist
a scientist who studies fossils
fossil

tell when and where organisms once lived and how they lived
permineralized remains
fossils in which the spaces inside are filled with minerals from
ground water
carbon film
thin film of carbon residue preserved as a fossil

a type of body fossil that forms when an organism with hard
parts is buried, decays or dissolves and leaves a cavity in the
rock
cast
a type of body fossil that forms when crystals fill a mold or
sediments wash into a mold and harden into a rock
index fossil
remains of species that existed on Earth for a relatively short
period of time, were abundant, and were widespread
geographically, and can be used by geologists to assign the ages
of rock layers
original remains
Amber surrounds and protects the original material of the
insect's exoskeleton from destruction
trace fossils
fossilized tracks and other evidence of the activity of
organisms
trails & burrows
can tell something about how animals lived

rock formed when sediments are cemented and compacted or when
minerals are precipitated from solution
principle of superposition
States that in undisturbed rock layers, the oldest rocks are on
the bottom and the rocks become progressively younger toward the
top
relative age
the age of something compared with other things
unconformity
gap in the rock layer that is due to erosion or periods without
any disposition
Sedimentary Rock - Rocks that formed when layers of sediment
such as clay, mud, silt, or
sand hardened over millions of
years. These types of sediments are laid down in lakes, swamps
and oceans
Imprint - A fossil created by a print or impression Amber
Hardened tree sap, yellow to brown in color, often a source of
insect fossils
Petrified - A description of plants or animals that have been
preserved by being “turned to stone”
Extinct -No longer in existence Extinction the death of every
member of a species
Subtle - Not immediately obvious; difficult to detect
Drastic - Extreme or forceful; severe
Erosion - the process by which soil and rock are removed from
the Earth's surface by natural
processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and
deposited in other locations
Weathering- The process of breaking down rocks into smaller
pieces that create sediment
Deposition -The buildup of matter by a natural process, for
example the laying down of sediments in a river
Landslide - The rapid downward sliding of earth and rock often
caused by events such as oversteepening of slopes by erosion,
heavy snowmelt, and earthquakes
Volcanic eruption -The sudden ejection of hot ash, molten rock,
and various gases from an opening on the crust of a planet
Earthquake Movement or vibration in the rocks that make up
Earth’s crust
Delta - A triangular section of sediment deposited at the mouth
of a river (where it flows into another body of water)
CORE The center portion of the earth. It is thought to be
composed of two regions: 1) the inner core which is solid and
has a radius of 750 miles; and 2) the outer core which is molten
and about 1400 miles thick
DECAY The decomposition of organic matter.
ERUPTION Magma (molten rock) is forced to the surface due to
pressure of gas and water vapor building up below the earth’s
crust.
EXTINCT Plants or animals found only as fossils or not at all;
not found alive today.
FOSSIL Remains of past plants or animals found in the earth’s
crust.
GEOLOGIST A scientist who studies rocks and minerals.
GEOLOGY The study of the earth through rocks.
HABITAT The environment in which the life needs of a plant or
animal are supplied.
IMPRESSION A mark left behind by the surface of an organism in
layers of fine-grained sediments, though the actual organism
decays.
PALEONTOLOGIST A scientist that studies ancient life through
fossils.
PALEONTOLOGY The study of fossils to show how living things
evolved on the earth.
PETRIFIED WOOD Wood that has been replaced by minerals.
PETRIFY A process that replaces living material with minerals.
Minerals dissolved in groundwater replace the cells of a dead
tree or bones of a dead animal.
PRESERVED A plant or animal kept at least partly in its original
form after death.
TRACE FOSSIL Evidence of an activity of a living thing preserved
as footprints, burrows, coprolites, etc.
VOLCANO Volcanoes are vents or fissures in the earth’s crust
through which magma is force onto the surface as lava by a
buildup of gas and water vapor. Level 2
ASH Volcanic dust or tiny lava particles that accompany
pyroclastic explosions.
BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC UNIT A group of rock strata that is identified
by its fossil content.
BRECCIA A sedimentary rock composed of angular rock fragments
fixed in a matrix.
CALDERA A basin-shaped volcanic depression, more than a mile
wide, typically resulting from an eruption and/or collapse of a
volcano.
CARBON An abundant element that is a basic building block in the
cells of all living beings.
CARBONIZATION The reduction of plant or animal remains to a film
of carbon.
CLIMATE The sum total of the weather patterns that characterize
the average and extreme conditions of the atmosphere over a long
period of time for a specific region of the earth’s surface.
CONGLOMERATE A rock made up of rounded pebbles and cobbles in a
matrix.
CONTINENTAL DRIFT The theory that continents have moved in
relation to one another.

may act upon an organism or community to influence its
development or existence.
EXTANT Plants or animals that still exist; the opposite of
extinct.
GENUS A group of similar organisms that can be further
subdivided into species.
GEOLOGIC TIMELINE The “planetary calendar” that spans the entire
length of the earth’s history. The major subdivisions of
geologic time are eras, periods, and epochs.

earth or geology.
GRANITE A type of igneous rock formed from magma that cools
inside the earth before reaching the surface.

degrees.

measured in degrees from the Prime Meridian, which passes
through Greenwich, England.

other.
PYROCLASTS Lava fragments or rocks formed from debris of an
explosive volcanic eruption.
SEDIMENT Any substance that settles out of water.
SEDIMENTARY ROCK Rock formed from sediments that are compacted
under pressure. Sediments are particles of solid rocks eroded by
