1 Fossils and EH LT 1 and 2 Grade:«grade» Subject:Science Date:«date» Apr 9 11:39 AM 1

2 1 Which of the following does NOT explain why soft tissues are less likely to fossilize than hard parts? A Soft tissues are more likely to be eaten than hard parts. B Bacteria and other microorganisms can decompose soft tissues rapidly. C Soft tissues can be preserved in ice or amber. D Waves and physical factors can destroy soft tissues more easily than hard body parts LT 1 I can describe and explain the conditions necessary for organisms to become fossils. Apr 9 11:50 AM 2

3 2 Which environment(s) would be good for fossilization? A B C D LT 1 I can describe and explain the conditions necessary for organisms to become fossils. Nov 19 10:29 PM 3

4 3 All of the following are TRUE about dead organisms in a rain forest EXCEPT A Rainfall causes organisms to decay quickly. B The large variety of scavengers eat dead organisms quickly. C The many decomposers quickly break down dead organisms. D Organisms are usually quickly buried in the rainforest. LT 1 I can describe and explain the conditions necessary for organisms to become fossils. Apr 9 11:53 AM 4

5 4 Of the tiny percentage of organisms that become fossils most are never found because A They are crushed, eroded, or melted by geologic processes. B They are eaten by scavengers. C They remain hidden in the Earth where we can't find them. D Both A and B E Both A and C LT 1 I can describe and explain the conditions necessary for organisms to become fossils. Nov 19 10:47 PM 5

8 7 How are permineralized remains created? A An organism falls in a swamp where large amounts of plant matter accumulate and completely carbonize B the hard parts of an organism decay, leaving behind a cavity in a rock. C the spaces inside of a hard part of an organism decay and are filled with minerals from groundwater. D carbon residue is left behind, leaving a silhouette of the original organism LT 2 I can distinguish between the different types of fossils and can describe how they are formed. Apr 9 3:12 PM 8

9 8 Which of the following is NOT information a paleontologist can gather from trace fossils? A Approximate weight and age of an organism B How organisms traveled (like in groups) C the firmness of sediment the animal walked on D the shape of the organism's internal organs. LT 2 I can distinguish between the different types of fossils and can describe how they are formed. Apr 9 8:49 PM 9

10 9 A cast is... A the remains of the original material replaced with minerals B a hardened three dimensional copy of the original organism C a depression left in rock after an organism decays D a thin film left behind after an organism is exposed to heat and pressure LT 2 I can distinguish between the different types of fossils and can describe how they are formed. Apr 9 9:13 PM 10

11 10 Which of the following is NOT a trace fossil? A burrows B coprolite (feces) C nests D ant preserved in amber LT 2 I can distinguish between the different types of fossils and can describe how they are formed. Apr 9 9:17 PM 11

12 11 When a mammoth is frozen in ice and is preserved, it forms what type of fossil? A carbon imprint B a cast fossil C a mold fossil D orginal remains LT 2 I can distinguish between the different types of fossils and can describe how they are formed. Apr 9 9:19 PM 12

13 12 A fossil that is not part of an actual organism but is used to give scientists clues about the organism's behavior would be classified as a(n). A cast fossil B carbon imprint C trace fossil D original remains LT 2 I can distinguish between the different types of fossils and can describe how they are formed. Nov 19 10:59 PM 13
