  1. Paleontology Review Game Ready your remote!!

  2. Groups of 3 please Sit quietly and wait for directions

  3. Please select a Team. • Team 1 • Team 2 • Team 3 • Team 4 • Team 5 • Team 6 • Team 7 • Team 8 • Team9 • Team 10

  4. 1.) Which type of fossil is shown to the right? • Carbon film • Mold • Cast • Trace fossil • Original remains • Permineralized remains

  5. 2.) Which Layer of Rock is the OLDEST? • A • B • C • D • E • F • G

  6. 3.) Which Layer of Rock is the YOUNGEST? • A • B • C • D • E • F • G

  7. 4.) Which Layer of Rock is the third youngest? • A • B • C • D • E • F • G

  8. 5.) Why are index fossils useful to geologists? • They tell the absolute of the rock. • They tell the ages of MANY rock layers in different locations • They tell how the fossil was formed. • They tell the EXACT age of the entire rock layer.

  9. Team Scores

  10. 6.) Which is the correct sequence of events? (oldest first) • H, M, R • M, B, R • I, H, M • I, M, H • R, F, B

  11. 7.) What is meant by the relative age of a fossil? • Its age compared to other rocks or fossils. • The number of years since it formed. • Its age as determined by carbon dating. • Its age as determined by the radioisotopes it contains.

  12. 8.) How do most fossils form? • The hard parts of an organism dry out in the air. • The soft parts of an organism harden and turn to stone. • An organism is buried by lava flows and encased in rock. • An organism dies and its remains are buried by sediments.

  13. Rock “E” would be an example of what cross-cut? • Fault • Fold • Intrusion • Extrusion • Unconformity

  14. The dinosaur tracks shown in this picture, would be what type of fossil? • Index fossil • Mold • Cast • Trace fossil • Carbon film • Permineralized remains

  15. Team Scores

  16. Determining the absolute age of a sample based on the ratio of the parent to the daughter is called what? • Hypothetical dating • Relative dating • Radiometric dating • Organic dating Response Grid

  17. Radioactive dating works best with which type of rock? • Sedimentary rock • Metamorphic rock • Igneous rock • Fossilized rock Response Grid

  18. Determining whether an object is older or younger than other objects is called what? • Relative dating • Absolute dating • Radiometric dating • Gradualism Response Grid

  19. Radioactive dating enables geologists to determine which of the following? • Relative ages of rock • Absolute ages of rocks • Ages of the atoms in rocks • Half-life of an organism Response Grid

  20. Team Scores

  21. What percentage of your current points would you like to wager on the next question? • 0% • 25% • 50% • 75% • 100%

  22. A rock is found containing 50 nanograms of U-235 and 430 ng of Lead-207. Approximate how old would the rock be dated? (Half-life of U-235 = 704 m.y.) • 704 million years • 1.4 billion years • 2.4 billion years • 3.0 billion years Response Grid

  23. Team Scores

  24. ThePaleontologyReview Game is now officially over!!
