  1. Fossils (Copy now—right side)10/14 • In: How can we use fossils to date the relative age of a set of rocks? • Through: We will learn how paleontologists us the Principle of Superposition to determine the relative age of fossils. NOTES: • Paleontologists study organisms of the past • Fossils provide evidence about plants, animals, and climates of long ago • Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks • Principle of Superposition- the deeper the layer, the older the fossil

  2. Limestone Limestone indicates a marine environment was present

  3. Sandstone Sandstone may indicate a shoreline habitat or a riverbed

  4. What is the oldest layer of this burger?

  5. 3. Out (left side) • Sketch the “fossil-roni” column. Use color. Label the “youngest” layer and the “oldest” layer. 2. List the “word” organisms from oldest on the bottom to youngest at the top. • Zag Zig (oldest): list the rest here. 3. How do you know that Tin is older than Kin? 4 . Place the “picture” organism cards in correct order. (*) is the oldest layer. 5. What is the Principle of Superposition? Draw a picture or write a sentence to answer this question.
