Full Description
This exam assesses the understanding of geological processes that affect fossil distribution and preservation, including sedimentation rates and tectonic activities. Candidates must articulate the interplay between geological phenomena and fossil records.
Understanding these factors is vital for interpreting fossil distribution patterns and biases within the fossil record, furthering insights into evolutionary trends and biogeography based on geological contexts.
Candidates will be expected to verbally articulate how various geological processes influence fossil occurrence, preservation, and stratigraphy in paleozoological studies.
Candidates may also discuss significant fossil-rich formations and how geological events have shaped our understanding of ancient biodiversity.
Sample Questions
- What geological processes significantly influence fossil preservation and distribution?
- How do sedimentation rates affect the likelihood of fossil formation?
