Fossils are the remains or traces of prehistoric life found in sedimentary rocks. The type of fossil formed depends on how and where the organism died and was buried. Fossils can be unaltered remains like teeth and shells, or altered remains that have changed over time through processes like petrification or carbonization. Trace fossils provide indirect evidence of prehistoric life through things like tracks, burrows, and coprolites. Fossils are important for interpreting ancient environments and changes over time.
Microfossils are very small remains of organisms 0.001 mm (1 micron) to 1 mm, that require magnification for study.
They are abundant, can be recovered from small samples.
Provide the main evidence for organic evolution through the time
They classified into two groups:
Organic-walled; Acritarchs, Dinoflagellate, Spores and Pollen grains … etc.
Foraminifera Each chamber interconnected by an opening (foramen) or several openings (foramina).
Known from Early Cambrian through to recent times, and has reached its acme during the Cenozoic.
Have a wide environmental range from terrestrial to deep sea and from polar to the tropical region.
Depending on the species, the shell may be made of organic compounds, sand grains and other particles cemented together, or from crystalline calcite.
Inorganic walled; Diatoms, Silicoflagellates, Ostracods, Conodonts, and Foraminifera

Grade 8 Integrated Science Chapter 16 Lesson 1 on fossils. This lesson gives detail about fossil, how they form, and the different types. The purpose of this lesson is for students to understand fossil and how they give us a record of our planet's past. Students should know the different types of fossils by the end of the lesson.
Origin Of Life: Are we here by chance? Theories on origin of life, Scientific and Special Creation. Different Theories of life's origin including Aristotle's theory, Pasteur, Redi and Leuwenhook experiment, Abiogenesis, etc.
Fossils and its evolutionary significance.
Ever wondered if what you do on a daily basis is important? This gentle presentation for managers and Board members will discuss how everything you do has some effect on someone or something, and how your decisions matter to more people than you are aware.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Fossils
1. II. What are Fossils?
Fossils are the remains or traces of
prehistoric life. They are important
components of sediment and
sedimentary rocks.
The type of fossil that is formed is
determined by the conditions
under which an organism died and
how it was buried.
3. A. Unaltered Remains
Some remains of organisms—
such as teeth, bones, and
shells—may not have been
altered, or may have changed
hardly at all over time.
4. B. Altered Remains
• The remains of an organism are likely to be
changed over time.
• Fossils often become petrified or turned to
stone.
• Molds and casts are another common type
of fossil.
• Carbonization is particularly effective in
preserving leaves and delicate animals. It
occurs when an organism is buried under
fine sediment.
5. a. Trace fossils are indirect
evidence of prehistoric
life.
Can tell us about the activity,
habitat, diet, etc. of an animal
Examples: Tracks, shelters, and
poop
III. Indirect evidence
7. IV. Preserved Fossil Types
Conditions Favoring Preservation
Most organisms do not
become fossils…
• Two conditions are important for
preservation: rapid burial and the possession
of hard parts.
12. #2 Asphalt/Tar
□ Asphalt wells up in
thick sticky pools.
□ Trapped and
preserved
organisms in
asphalt.
13.
14. #3 Petrified Fossils
□ A process in which
minerals replace the
organism’s tissues.
□ Different types:
□Pore space in bone/wood
fills up with mineral
□Organisms tissues are
replaced by minerals
19. VI. Environments
a. Interpreting Environments
• Fossils can also be used to interpret and
describe ancient environments and
changes that occurred (polar areas once
being tropical)
• They can identify extinct species and
effects of catastrophism (floods, volcanic
eruptions, earthquakes).
• They can describe geologic changes
(mountains once under water, Pangaea)
Shark tooth in Georgia?!?!
20. b. Fossils on a Mountaintop?
□ Rocks on the
mountain formed at
the bottom of the
ocean.
□ Using
fossils, scientists can
tell whether the
climate was cooler
or more wet than
present.
