what they ate
C
their cause of death
D
defense
3) In layers of rock, the deeper you dig, the__.
A
there are no fossils
B
the older the rocks are
C
rocks in the different layers are all the same age
D
the younger the rocks are
4) The pelvis and tiny hind leg bones of modern-day whales are considered __ because they are no longer used by the animal.

Homologous Structures
B
Essential Organs
C
Vestigial Structures
D
Analogous Structures
5) In undisturbed rock,
A
the farther the fossils are from the surface, the older they are.
B
the closer the fossils are to the surface, the more prehistoric they are.
C
the farther the fossils are from the surface, the younger they are.
D
the closer the fossils are to the surface, the older they are.
6) The type of rock that is good at preserving fossils are:
A
metamorphic rock
B
volcanic rock
C
sedimentary rock
D
igneous rock
7) The type of rock that does NOT preserve fossils are:
A
sedimentary rock
B
igneous (volcanic) rock
8) Scientists find the same fossils in layers of rock from two separate locations of rock layers. What could they infer about the age of the rock?
A
The rock layers are different ages
B
The rocks are completely unrelated
C
The rock layers that contain similar fossils was just a neat coincidence.
D
The rock layers that contain similar fossils are relatively the same age.
9) A fossil was found below rocks that were 520 millions of years old and above rocks that were 550 millions of years old. What can you conclude about its age?
A
The age of the fossil has to be younger than 520 million years.
B
The fossil is older than 550 million years.
C
You cannot tell anything about its age, since scientists do NOT know the age of the rock where the fossil was found.

The age of the fossil is somewhere between 520 and 550 millions of years old.
