    Fossils help determine the relative age of strata because when a scientist discovers that fossil they can then place a time frame of when that organism was alive. Scientist’s already have certain time frames that they follow, so when they find a fossils that are within that strata then they can determine when that organism was alive they can then place that organism into that time frame. All three of the localities which are Paradoxides pinus within the Paleozoic Era, Billingsella corrugate which is also in the Paleozoic Era, then there is Perisphinctes tiziani I believe, which is in the Mesozoic Era, and last the Dictyoclostus americanus which is located in the Paleozoic Era, all of these are within the same relative age they are found within the same time frame as each other. The only thing that was missing in the figure on pg.68 figure 3.6 was layer D this may have been because of possible erosion or it may have never deposited at all. That is very likely that it may have existed at one time, but the erosion from may have destroyed it. Although some scientists may argue that fossils are not a good way to determine the age of some organisms I feel as though it is a good way because the fossil is found in that layer of strata so therefore it should be placed in that time frame. The fossils that where found were between the Paleozoic Era and the Mesozoic Era because of this knowledge the scientist can determine that the fossils that were found are probably between 65 million years to 251 million years old. This allows scientists to see how the Earth has changed or evolved over the different Eras.…

    Permineralization is a process of fossilization that occurs when an organism is buried. The empty spaces within an organism (spaces filled with liquid or gas during life) become filled with mineral-rich groundwater. Minerals precipitate from the groundwater, occupying the empty spaces. This process can occur in very small spaces, such as within the cell wall of a plant cell. Small scale permineralization can produce very detailed fossils. For permineralization to occur, the organism must become covered by sediment soon after death or soon after the initial decay process. The degree to which the remains are decayed when covered determines the later details of the fossil. Some fossils consist only of skeletal remains or teeth; other fossils contain traces of skin, feathers or even soft tissues. This is a form of diagenesis.…
