PALEONTOLOGY

WHAT IS PALEONTOLOGY?
Paleontology is the natural science that studies and interprets the past of life on Earth through fossils. WHAT DO PALEONTOLOGISTS DO?
Paleontologists study fossils to develop knowledge of ancient life forms, including their anatomy, physiology, evolution, and the possible ecosystems of which they were a part. With this, the paleontologist prepares, establishes a catalog and describes the fossils under study. WHAT IS A GEOLOGICAL MAP?
A geological map is the representation on a topographic plane of the geological elements that emerge on the earth’s surface. The different rocks or geological formations and their ages are represented by a grid of colors that identify them. WHAT REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET TO BE ABLE TO EXIT TO THE PLACE WHERE THE EXCAVATIONS WILL BE DONE? Any trench or excavation four feet deep or more must have an exit. Stairs or ramps should be placed no more than twenty-five feet in any direction. Ladders should extend three feet above the excavation surface and should be tied off if necessary. HOW IS FOSSIL COLLECTION CARRIED OUT IN THE FIELD? certain measures are taken for it such as the care. HOW ARE THE FOUND FOSSILS KEPT?
Decay is the main source of information loss in the fossil record and mineralization is the only way to stop it. HOW IS THE CLEANING DONE? Release of the copy from the matrix that encompasses it.
Consolidators and adhesives.
Cleaning the isolated fossil.
Application of techniques for the study of the specimen, among which arefind the realization of molds. DO PALEONTOLOGISTS ALWAYS WORK ON THE EXCAVATIONS OR DO OTHER PEOPLE PARTICIPATE WHO ARE NOT? not other types of people also work WHY IS PALEONTOLOGY IMPORTANT?
Well, while Archeology focuses on the study of the past of human beings, paleontology studies the past of the Earth from fossil remains. … We speak of millions and billions of years of years and they serve to study how life on Earth arose and its evolution.
