Question

phylogency of petrified fossil?

Answer 1

I need to know is the phylogency of petrified fossil.

Answer 2

Gather the following details on your fossil or fossil group:

biological evolution and phylogeny
physical characteristics
related organisms, past and present, if available
locations where found

Answer 3

Hey okay im here. Im thinkin. Lol

Answer 4

so far i have biological evolution done :]

Answer 5

Great!

Answer 6

We know that the history of the evolution of a species or group, especially in reference to lines of descent and relationships among broad groups of organisms.

Answer 7

which part would i put that info in?

Answer 8

Im not sure. Thats more of a definition than an answer in myopinion. Let me do a little more research. I wanna help. :D

Answer 9

alright :]

Answer 10

Physical Characteristics is relatively easy. A Petrified Fossil is basically a perfectly preserved fossil encased in metamorphic rock. You can look up pictures on google and see what I mean. Something like what I mentioned should be more than satisfactory for physical characteristics.

Answer 11

I need to find biological evolution and phylogeny of petrified fossil. c:

Answer 12

And for a similar organism petrified wood is basically the same except the wood is preserved by the metamorphic rock, instead of being a fossil. And im still doin research on both those. Ill brb

Answer 13

where would i put that?

Answer 14

on wait in related organisms, past and present.. ?

Answer 15

Under similar organisms both past and present and for location, Petrified Forest National Park in Apache County, AZ.

Answer 16

thank you very much :]

Answer 17

Petrified wood are fossils of wood that have turned to stone through the process of permineralization. All organic materials are replaced with minerals while maintaining the original structure of the wood. That summarizes the biological evolution.

Answer 18

And simply put, Phylogeny is really just how the organism has evolved over time. In this case, Im not sure what to put, but you might be able to explain the process from start to finish to satisfy this requirement. Minerals accumulate around the organism (fossil) -> Minerals begin solidification -> The size of the mineral encasing increases drastically -> The minerals convert to metamorphic rock. The end. Lol Thats for Phylogeny. :)

Answer 19

brb :3

Answer 20

Okay.

Answer 21

is it mineralization or perminerlization?

Answer 22

Perminerlization. Though minerals are involved, it is not mineralization.

Answer 23

thanks ^~^

Answer 24

Yeah sure!

Answer 25

typed it all up :3

Answer 26

Good job! Im proud of you. Lol

Answer 27

I need a bit more physical characteristics of petrified fossil cx

Answer 28

Answer 29

Okay. Umm... It has a very high density, the inside has a bright luster, it has a medium scratch hardness. Is that enough or do u need more?

Answer 30

thats good thanks!

Answer 31

No problem
