 Analysis
1. After you cut the clay three times, was there a piece of clay that remained?
 Yes, there are some pieces of clay that remain.
2. How big will the remaining piece of clay be if you repeat the process several more times?
 If I repeat the process several times, The remaining clay will be little in size.
3. How many halves of clay were produced until the remaining piece of clay is gone?
 9 halves of clay will produce until the remaining piece of clay is gone

Application: HALF-LIVES
Questions:
1. How many half-lives have passed?
 There are three half lives that have passed
2. How old is the sample?
 The sample is 750,000 years old
3. What division or subdivision of geologic time scale this sample could be found?
 Cenozoic era: Quaternary period: Holocene epoch
4. What absolute dating technique can be used to get to know the age of the sample?
 The absolute dating technique that can be used to get to know the age of
sample is Potassium-Argon dating

ANALYSIS
1. What clues did you use to determine their relative age?
 The clues that I use to determine their relative age is I have a record in my
notes of when I bought them and some of the other stuff are from shoppee so
I can see the when I purchase them
2. How can you determine the oldest object of all?
 I can determine the oldest object of all by their looks

Application: PLEASE COMPLETE ME!

Ediacaran fauna PreCambrian - Cambrian hard-bodied They lived on or near the
organisms of the surface of coarse-grained

Archaeocyatha Cambrian Cup-shaped taxon of extinct, sessile,

Trilobites Cambrian - Silurian three-lobed, Lived in fairly shallow
threesegmented water and were benthic.

Graptolites Devonian – Permian thin, often shiny, Watery environment
markings on rock
surfaces that look
like pencil marks,
and their name
comes from the
Greek for 'writing

Ammonites Devonian – Cretaceous Some ammonites Ocean
had long, straight
shells, while others
had helix-shaped
shells. Most
species, however,
had coiled shells
lined with
progressively
larger chambers
separated by thin
walls called septa.
Dinosaurs Triassic – Cretaceous They had an Tropical forest, drier
upright stance, desert regions
with legs
perpendicular to
their body. ...
Like other reptiles,
they laid eggs.
Mammals Triassic - Quaternary Group of deserts, the Arctic,
vertebrates that oceans, forests,
nourishes their mountains, tundra,
young using the grasslands, and
 mammary gland savannas.

the ground sediments. Every fossil reveals something about the age of the rock it was discovered
in, but index fossils reveal the most information.
