Flashcards: Use fossils as evidence of environments organisms lived in

What do fossils show about environments of long ago?

Your answer:

Fossils show scientists what the exact temperature of an environment was.

Your answer:

Fossils show scientists what the weather was like on the day the fossil was made.

Your answer:

Fossils do not show scientists anything about environments of long ago.

Correct answer:

Fossils show scientists how environments have changed over time.

Explanation:

Fossils give scientists lots of valuable information about not only the organism but the environment in which it lived. From fossils, scientists can see how an environment has changed over time. If the fossil is found on a tall hillside, but it is the remains for an aquatic animal, scientists now know the area used to be underwater. If a plant was only found in desert areas but is now found in the middle of grassland, scientists can see how that area has changed over the years.

Flashcards: Use fossils as evidence of environments organisms lived in

Gordon Hubbell and a crew of fossil hunters were digging holes in the desert of Peru in 1988. This desert is one of the driest places on Earth. It gets almost no rain. Hubbel was digging and found jawbones and more than 200 sharp teeth. He is an expert in fossilized sharks, so he recognized the teeth right away. They were shaped like triangles and came to a very sharp point. They belonged to a distant relative of the great white shark!

What did these fossils tell scientists about the environment in which they were found?

This desert area used to be a tropical rainforest.

This desert area used to be a freezing tundra.

This desert area used to be underwater.

This desert area was always a desert.

Your answer:

This desert area used to be a tropical rainforest.

Your answer:

This desert area used to be a freezing tundra.

Your answer:

This desert area was always a desert.

Correct answer:

This desert area used to be underwater.

Explanation:

These fossils were a fascinating find for Hubbell's team and scientists in general. Finding shark teeth in what is now a desert tells researchers that this environment has changed over the years. For sharks to live there, it would have been underwater during their time period. Scientists can now study how, when, and why the area is now a desert.
