![Page 3: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Fossils
• Fossilization - refers to a variety of often complex processes that enable the preservation of organic remains within the geological record.
• Conditions:• rapid and permanent burial• oxygen deprivation • continued sediment • absence of excessive heating or compression
![Page 4: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Fossils
Usually formed beneath sediments deposited beneath water
Why do you think fossils are not as common on land as they are in the marine environment?

Fossil Formation
• Fish returns to its birth place to spawn
![Page 6: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• After spawning the fish dies and sinks to the seafloor.
![Page 7: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• After several weeks the soft body tissues have mostly decayed
![Page 8: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Nearby tectonic activity causes sediment to mobilize and buries the specimen
![Page 9: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Several months pass and all that remains of the buried fish is its skeleton
![Page 10: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• As times passes more sediment accumulates above the fish and the skeleton is gradually compressed and permineralised.
![Page 11: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Permineralization
• Process of fossilization • Mineral deposits form internal casts of
organisms
• Minerals fill the spaces within organic tissue
![Page 12: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Permineralization• Silicifaction- Silicate
minerals from weathering• Minerals permeate pores
and cells of dead organisms and becomes a gel.
• Gel will dehydrate over time and form a crystal structure that is an internal cast of the organism
• Most common type
![Page 13: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Over time the rock is distorted and uplifted by geological forces associated with continental movement, raising it above sea level
![Page 14: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• The uplifted rock is exposed to weathering and gradually erodes away, eventually exposing the tip of the fish's skull at the surface.
![Page 15: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• A palaeontologist recognises the fish by the small area of skull exposed and begins to carefully extract the specimen.
![Page 16: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• A Pomognathus fish from Houghton Quarry - the skull is clearly visible, and what parts of the skeleton remain are obscured within the chalk matrix.

Weathering: the disintegration, or breakdown of rock material
![Page 22: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Weathering
• Mechanical• no change in
chemical composition--just disintegration into smaller pieces
• Chemical• breakdown as a
result of chemical reactions
• CaCO3+CO2+H2O --> Ca2+ + 2HCO3-
![Page 23: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mechanical Weathering
Physical breakup• pressure release• water: freeze - thaw cycles• crystallization of salt in cracks• thermal expansion and contraction
All this increases the total surface area exposed to weathering processes.
![Page 24: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mechanical WeatheringExfoliation:Rock breaks apart in layers that are parallel to the earth's surface; as rock is uncovered, it expands (due to the lower confining pressure) resulting in exfoliation.

Shattered rocks are common in cold and alpine environments where repeated freeze-thaw cycles gradually pry rocks apart.
![Page 32: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
WeatheringThermal expansion due to the extreme range of temperatures can shatter rocks in desert environments.Repeated swelling and shrinking of minerals with different expansion rates will also shatter rocks.

Role of Physical Weathering
1) Reduces rock material to smaller fragments that are easier to transport
2) Increases the exposed surface area of rock, making it more vulnerable to further physical and chemical weathering
![Page 34: Do Now](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568164d8550346895dd71dda/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Joints in a rock are a pathway for water – they can enhance mechanical weathering

Chemical Weathering
Definition: transformation/decomposition of one mineral into another
Mineral breakdown• carbonate dissolves• primary minerals --> secondary minerals (mostly clays)
Net loss of elements retained in the soil.

• Water is the main operator:– Dissolution
• Many ionic and organic compounds dissolve in water
– Silica, K, Na, Mg, Ca, Cl, CO3, SO4
Chemical Weathering

Dissolution
H2O + CO2 + CaCO3 --> Ca+2 + 2HCO3-
water + carbon dioxide + calcite dissolve into calcium ion and bicarbonate ion
Biological activity in soilsgenerates substantial CO2
Bicarbonate is the dominant ion in surface runoff.

Solution: process by which rock is dissolved in water
• Is strongly influenced by pH and temperature• When water becomes saturated, chemicals
may precipitate out forming evaporite deposits.
• Calcium carbonate (calcite, limestone), sodium chloride (salt), and calcium sulfate (gypsum) are particularly vulnerable to solution weathering.
Chemical Weathering

Biological Weathering
Can be both chemical and mechanical in nature.
• roots split rocks apart
• roots produce acids that dissolve rocks.
• tree throw
• burrowing animals

Rates of weathering• Climate
– Temperature and moisture characteristics
– Chemical weathering• Most effective in areas of warm, moist climates –
decaying vegetation creates acids that enhance weathering
• Least effective in polar regions (water is locked up as ice) and arid regions (little water)
– Mechanical weathering• Enhanced where there are frequent freeze-thaw
cycles

Mechanical and Chemical Weathering
– Fracturing, disintegration caused by mechanical weathering exposes more surface area.
– Greater surface area, means more places for chemical action to occur.
