= e yesrWelcome To Blakes Wiki page = What Is Paleontology?

Paleontology is the study of what fossils tell us about the ecologies of the past about evolution and about our place as humans in this world. Paleontology incorporates knowledge from biology, geology, ecology, anthropology, archaeology and even computer science to understand the process to understand that have led to origination and eventual destruction of the different types of organisims since life arose.The definition of the word paleontology is: The study of the forms of life existing in prehistoric or geologic times as represented as the fossils of plants,animals,and other organisims. = = = Facts on how fossils are formed = Not many plants or animals are lucky enough to be turned into a fossil. When an animal or plant dies its remains usually rot away to nothing. Sometimes though, when the conditions are just right and its remains can be buried quickly, it may be fossilised. There are several different ways fossils can be formed. There are five steps to do this first the animal dies, its skeleton settles on the sea floor and is buried by sediment. The soft parts of the a nimal rot away leaving only its skeleton.The skeleton is buried by sediment falling from the ocean above. Next the sediment surrounding the skeleton thikens and begins to turn to stone. Then the skeleton dissolves and a mould is formed. After that, minerals crystallise inside the earth's surface. media type="custom" key="10267319" align="center" width="64" height="64"

How Is a Time Capsule Like A Fossil

A fossil is like a time capsule because it allows you to see from the past and uncover new things.A time capsule is like a window that lets you see what or how things happened in the past. A fossil is like a time capsule because how would paleontologists know how things or what things happened during the mesozoic era. Fossils are like a time capsule like the ones we make because it shows us old memories or things we did in the past. Dinosaur fossils are a great example of a time capsule because we would know what happened to them and maybe how they acted,depending on the fossil. When people look at a fossil they can tell that it came from millions of years ago like the time capsule that we have today.Just like how people made time capsules before it would be filled with old stuff to represent them from before just like fossils. When we look at fossils we know it's a time capsule because it represents dinosaurs and other prehistoric life forms.

Would Dinosaurs be Able to Live On Earth Today I don't think that they would be able to live on the Earth now.

1.Firstly their wouldn't be enough space for them to live on because the area is filled with houses and the country area and rainforests already have lots of animals there.

2. Secondly the meat eaters couldn't survive because if they ate any humans or animals people would start to get scared and they would kill them.

3. Thirdly there are to many animals in our earth that would become endangered by the dinosaurs and our population of animals will get lower and maybe some animals extinct.

4. Forthly Todays life is completly different to back when they were alive and today they would not to be able to know what to do in situations when a man comes up with a gun and not know if they're in danger or not.

This Is My Poem On Dinosaurs Meat Eaters They are brown and black all around They taste like meat and big fat juicy steak They smell like a big yucky swamp They look like big scary monsters with sharp teeth They sound like giants yelling out to us, and They feel like slime that is solid and yuck

Were All Dinosaurs Dangerous No not all dinosaurs were dangerous because most dinosaurs were so huge we think of them as vicious meat eaters roaming the earth in search of prey. Actually most dinosaurs were completely harmless to other creatures. Only one dinosaur in twenty was a meat eater. the rest were vegetarians eating only plants that they scooped up from swampy water. Some giant dinosaurs didn't have any teeth! Also the largest of all dinosaurs the Brachiosaurus was a vegetarian.The only reason that dinosaurs would try to eat you would be because you have bothered them.

Has Mount Vesuvius erupted after the burriage?

Yes, it erupted in March 1944, the explosion in March 1944 was the same type of explosion as the eruption in the year 79Ad. It was the most dangerous and bigggest eruption out of the three different types of eruptions but this one was much more damaging and was much more dangerous than the one in 79 and was the 2nd most dangerous volcanoe in history.
