A fossil is the preserved remains of a once-living organism.
Fossils give clues about organisms that lived long ago. They help to show that evolution has occurred.
They also provide evidence about how Earth’s surface has changed over time.
Fossils help scientists understand what past environments may have been like.

The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. What is a fossil?
• A fossil is the preserved remains of
a once-living organism.
How are fossils formed?
• Fossils are formed when animals or
plants are buried in sedimentary rock.
• You should remember how
sedimentary rock is formed and how to
identify which layers are the oldest and
which are youngest.
4. If sediment covers a
dead organism
before the it has
time to rot, the
organism’s body
may become
fossils fossilized.
As many, many years pass, new types of
sediment are deposited on top of the original
sediment containing the fossil and the layers of
sediment change to rock. As a result, the
fossils are finally buried under layers of rock.
5. Based on what you already know about how
sedimentary is formed, you should be able to tell
which fossils in this picture are older or younger.
The youngest fossils
would be found in
the
a. top layers of
rock
b. the middle rock
layers
c. the bottom
Natural Resources Canada
layers of rock
6. There are four types of fossils:
Molds
Casts
Trace fossils
Whole or part of an organism that has
been preserved
8. 1. A mold forms when: a. an organism dies
and is buried in sediment such as sand, silt or
clay b. the sediment changes to rock and the
organism’s body decomposes leaving an
imprint or mold in the rock. Molds can be seen
if the rock is broken open.

9. 2. A cast forms when an organism dies and is
buried in sediment. Its body rots leaving a
“hole” in the shape of its body. Water with
minerals fills up the hole. When the water
evaporates, a copy of the original structure of
organism is formed as a rock.

Molds and casts are often found together.
17. Trace fossils include leaf prints, burrows,
coprolites (feces or poop), trails,
footprints.
Trace fossils of an animal tell
something about its movement and
behavior.
Trace fossils are not an imprint of the
hard part of an animal’s body.
22. 4. Whole or a part of a body is preserved
In rare instances an entire organism or
its skeleton is preserved because the
organism gets trapped in a substance
that protects its body from decaying.
Examples are:
23. A spider trapped in tree sap. The tree sap
hardened into amber, preserving the whole
spider.

24. A sabretooth cat skeleton found in La
Brea Tar Pits in California. The tiger fell
into the tar and got “stuck”. His skeleton
was preserved by the tar.

25. Sometimes, a whole organism can be
preserved if it is frozen very quickly.

26. What do fossils tell us?
• Fossils give clues about organisms
that lived long ago.
• They also provide evidence about
how Earth’s surface has changed over
time.
• Fossils help scientists understand what
past environments may have been like.
27. In the next few slides you will see fossils
found either in or near Fort Worth. They
tell us:
•what organisms lived here millions of
years ago.
•about the environment of this area at
that time.
•and help us see how things have
changed over time.
35. Looking at these organisms, you can
conclude they once lived:
a. in a forest c. in a grassland
b. In an ocean d. in a desert
Yes, you could conclude that they once
lived in an ocean.
So what must have been here in Fort Worth
at that time (100 million years ago)?
Yes, at one time, very long ago, this area
was covered by a shallow sea.
36. The North American continent
during late Cretaceous time.
The Western Interior Sea covered most of
the Midwest from the present Gulf of
Mexico to the Arctic.
41. Paleontologists who examined the three-toed prints
identified Acrocanthosaurus as the likely trackmaker.
Other dinosaurs had also left their footprints here.
Sauropod tracks likely made by Paluxysaurus, a
herbivore, appear as huge potholes—sometimes
three feet long—pit the rocky bottom of the riverbed.
Acrocanthosaurus Paluxysaurus,
42. Based on what scientists know about dinosaurs,
what can we conclude about the climate at Glen
Rose 113 million years ago and the kinds of plants
that grew during this time?
43. A
Protohadrosdin
osaur skull was
found in Flower
Mound, Texas
in 1994.
The Protohadros
lived 98 million
years ago.
A Protohadro dinosaur belongs to the
Hadrosaurs family, the formal name of
duck-billed dinosaurs.
45. Above is a artist’s painting of what a Protohadros
might have looked like and the habitat that
scientists believe it lived in.
46. A cast of its
Dinosaur remains of a Tenontosaurusdossiwere

found in 1998 by a nine year old boy on a ranch
just west of Fort Worth near Weatherford. This
dinosaur lived 110 million years ago.

47. From these finding what can we
conclude about the environment
and climate of the region around
Fort Worth 98--110 million years
ago?
48. To conclude, let’s review a few things
we have learned.
Fossils are
a. always made of rock
b. an artist’s painting of animals that
lived long ago
c. the remains of plants and animals
that lived long ago
d. dishes that people used who
lived long ago
49. Fossils give us information about
a. organisms that lived long ago
b. the climate and environments of
the past
c. how the earth has changed over
time
d. all of the above
50. Fossils are usually
found in
a. soil
b. sedimentary
rock
c. igneous rock
from volcanoes
d. the interior of
the Earth
