FOSSIL SUCCESSION. Three concepts are important in the study and use offossils: (1) Fossils represent the remains of once-living organisms.
(2) Most fossils are the remains of extinct organisms; that is, they belong to species that are no longer living anywhere on Earth.

FOSSILS ARE IMPORTANT FOR US FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

*THEY ARE THE BASIS FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF THE GEOLOGIC TIME TABLE.  

*The appearance and disappearance of organisms throughout time is how we divide up the earths history into different periods. 

*THEY PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT EVOLUTION IS TAKING PLACE. 

*THEY CAN INFORM US ABOUT WHAT THE ENVIRONMENT WAS LIKE IN THE PAST. 

*THEY HELP US CORRELATE ROCKS.

*Finally, as we will learn in the next few lessons they help us correlate rock layers.
