An Introduction to Zoology - Friday, 1st Period
“Since we’ve covered the role that both evolution and extinction have played in the animal kingdom, the next part we’re going to be looking at is fossils, what we can learn from them and how they help us understand the links,” Cutter began that week’s lecture as he handed out his usual stack of notes.
“To help us understand the past and what the fossils tell us, we use the the fossil record,” he began, “the fossil record is the history of life according to fossils and include the remains or imprints of organisms and from earlier geological periods found in sedimentary rock,”
“The study of the fossil record has proved useful in three different purposes, the first one being to describe the evolution of a specific animal group, this includes the acquisition or loss of specific features in a species and that these adaptations can prove to be the better adaptation in a particular environment,”
“Fossil records can also make it easier to assistant when assigning an age to the strata where they occur and finally they can also be used to tell us more about the climate and the environment in which they originated and how the environment may have shifted over time,”
“Next week we will be doing some field work looking for fossils along serenity cove and the lighthouse, so we will be meeting there next week,”
