What is the name for a scientist who studies fossils?
Fossil Record provides evidence of the history life on Earth.◦Infer structure of organisms◦What they ate◦Environments they lived in
Fossils are found in specific layers of rock.◦ Able to date the age of ancient organisms.
17-1 The Fossil Record
![Page 3: Chapter 17. What is the name for a scientist who studies fossils? Fossil Record provides evidence of the history life on Earth. ◦ Infer structure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8c5503460f94a7300e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Identify and compare anatomical structures between fossils and living organisms.
Age of a fossil is determined by two techniques.
1. Relative Dating
2. Radioactive Dating
Fossil Evidence
![Page 4: Chapter 17. What is the name for a scientist who studies fossils? Fossil Record provides evidence of the history life on Earth. ◦ Infer structure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8c5503460f94a7300e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Compares fossils with others found in various layers of rock.◦ Oldest layers on bottom
Index fossils◦Used for comparison◦Found in specific layers of rock in different
locations.
Relative Dating

Radioactive decay to determine age of fossils.
◦Decay is measured as HALF-LIFE ◦the time for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay
Radioactive Dating
![Page 6: Chapter 17. What is the name for a scientist who studies fossils? Fossil Record provides evidence of the history life on Earth. ◦ Infer structure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8c5503460f94a7300e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Different radioactive elements have different half-lives.
Carbon 12 most common and does not decay Carbon 14 radioactive
◦Has half-life of 5730 Years
◦More C-12 compared to C-14 = older fossil
Radioactive Dating

Radioactive Uranium-232 has a half-life of approximately 70 years. The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster in 1986 released high levels of radiation into nearby surrounding areas including the town of Pripyat.
What year would see a reduction in radiation to 25% of the original level of uranium-232?

Precambrian Time- 90% of Earth’s history◦Life only existed in the seas
◦Simple anaerobic life photosynthetic life aerobic life
◦Prokaryotes Eukaryotes Multicellular organisms

Cambrian Period – Cambrian Explosion◦ Invertebrates, brachiopods, arthropods (trilobites)
Devonian Period – Plants adapt to drier areas◦ Insects◦ Age of Fishes – jaws, bony skeletons, scaled bodies
SHARKS!!!First land animals – amphibians
Carboniferous Period – reptiles and giant insects plant remains coal

Dominance of dinosaurs and flowering plants
Triassic Period – Age of Reptiles◦ 225 mya first dinosaurs◦ First mammals very small
Jurassic Period – Dinosaurs ruled Earth◦ Archaeopteryx appeared – first birds◦ Fossils show skulls/teeth of dinos but body and feathers of birds
Cretaceous Period – T. rex and flying reptiles◦ Flowering plants produced seeds enclosed in fruit◦ EXTINCTION EVENT

Age of Mammals Mammals evolve to live in different environments
Tertiary Period – Earth warm and mild◦ Whales and dolphins evolve◦ Grasses provide food source for grazing mammals
Quaternary Period – Ice AgesOcean levels drop 100 meters20,000 years ago – climate warms
Mammals such as bats, cattle, mammoths common200,000 years ago – first fossils of Homo sapiens in Africa

What is macroevolution?
1. Extinction
Most researchers look for a single massive event – Asteroid striking Earth at Chicxulub Crater, Mexico◦ Extinction of dinosaurs
Ecosystems collapse due to natural factors (earthquakes, volcanoes)◦ Organisms still able to compete◦ Food webs destroyed Disrupts energy flow

Process in which two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time
◦ Plant adaptation = animal adaptation
Coevolution

punctuated equilibrium: involves long periods of stability that are interrupted by episodes of rapid change
gradualism: evolution occurs slow and steady over a long period of time
