Fossils

Description

This video focuses on what a fossil is, the conditions necessary for fossilization, and what can be indicated by fossils. The principle of fossil succession is referred to when fossils are used to correlate rocks, indicate age, environments, evolutionary pathways, and interpret the geologic past. Fossils are used to subdivide geologic time. A sample question is included at the end.
