Answer 1

Fossils are the preserved biological remains and activities of ancient animals and plants. Paleontologists study fossils to determine anatomical and behavioral characteristics of past organisms. Fossils are classified into three categories of body, trace and chemical. The fossilization process is rare and occurs through a combination of biological, chemical and physical processes. Fossilization processes are molds, casts, drying, freezing, petrification, polymerization and carbonization.

Answer 2

please in your own words

Answer 3

I did

Answer 4

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 5

Fossils can form from pretty much anything. They normally form from animals fish and objects such as jewelry. Fossils are very unique things and show us what happened in history.

Answer 6

Body fossils:

Answer 7

Trace Fossils (Ichnofossils)

Answer 8

Chemical Fossils

Answer 9

ok no lets describe them

Answer 10

now*

Answer 11

Body Fossils: Body fossils normally consist of skeletonized parts.
Body fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant.

Answer 12

Trace Fossils: Trace fossils are often found preserved in sediment rock.
Also known as ichnofossils, trace fossils are the fossilized biological activity left behind by historical animals.

Answer 13

Chemical Fossils:
Chemical fossils are the preserved organic compounds, which can be traced back to biological origin. The decay of plants and animals includes a series of biochemical processes leaving biochemical traces commonly found in rock.

Answer 16

medal please

Answer 17

for trace fossils did you use your own words? @AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 18

hmm not really let me redo

Answer 19

ok thanks :)

Answer 20

Trace fossils are often found preserved in sediment rock.
Trace fossils are the fossilized activity left behind by animals.

Answer 21

can you substitute fossilized activity for other easier words?

Answer 22

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 23

Trace fossils are often found preserved in sediment rock.
Trace fossils are the preserved activity left behind by animals. Example of a trace fossil is a footpint.

Answer 24

ok :) and can you describe how the trace fossil looks like

Answer 25

Answer 26

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 27

but in your own words @AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 28

Body Fossils: Body fossils normally consist of skeletonized parts.
Body fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant.

Answer 29

yea i know but what do each of them look like in your own words?

Answer 30

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 31

Trace fossil is like a footprint or the print of some object ussualy.

Answer 32

ok and body fossil

Answer 33

body fossil is ussaly a skeleton of an animal or the whole body preserved in a rock or something else.

Answer 34

Chemical fossils provide an organic signature for ancient life. Molecular fossils and isotope ratios represent two types of chemical fossils.

Answer 35

and lastly chemical fossil

Answer 36

ok thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!! your the bestttt :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Answer 37

ok
