MODULE 3 BIODIVERSITY AND EVOLUTION

EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION
 Oh God Almighty, behold us your
loving children, offering you today our
works and studies.
Help us dear lord to be obedient to our
teachers, to be kind to our classmates
and to be diligent in our studies.
May you always grant us the courage
to follow your way.
Amen.

 QUESTION:
1. DO YOU KNOW
WHY DINOSAURS NO
LONGER EXIST
TODAY?
 1. Dinosaurs disappeared
long ago, possibly because of
changes in their environment
or competition from other
species.
 2. WHY SOME
ANIMALS BEFORE
ARE VERY
DIFFERENT FROM
THE ANIMALS WE
HAVE NOW?
 2. Over millions of years,
animals have changed
because of how the world
has changed, like different
habitats and climates, and
sometimes because many
animals died out.

 HAVE YOU EVER
SEEN FOSSILS OF
ANY ORGANISMS?
 Fossils are examples of evidences that
paleontologists used in studying
evolution. They are traces of organisms
that lived in the past and were preserved
by natural process or catastrophic
events. They can be the remains of
organisms which include bones, shells,
and teeth, and also embedded in rocks,
peat, resin, and ice.
PEAT
 This is peat forms in
waterlogged environments,
such as bogs or swamps,
where dead plant material
accumulates and undergoes
slow decomposition due to the
lack of oxygen.
ROCKS
 ROCKS are naturally
occurring solid aggregates or
mixtures of minerals. they are
composed of one or more
minerals, mineraloids, or
organic materials.
FOSSILIZED RESIN OR
AMBER .
 Fossilized resin or amber.
Amber can preserve the
bodies of many delicate, soft-
bodied organisms, such as
ants, flies, and mosquitoes.
ICE IN FOSSILS
 Ice in fossils refers to the
presence of ice within or
around fossilized remains.
It describes fossils that
have been preserved within
ice formations, often in
cold environments.
FOR YOU, WHAT IS THE MOST
INTERESTING FOSSIL
EVIDENCE? WHY?
WHAT IS FOSSIL?
A fossil is a remains or
traces of organisms
preserved in rocks.
WHAT IS PALEONTOLOGIST?
A paleontologist is a
person who studies
fossils.
DO YOU KNOW THAT FOSSILS
WERE COMMONLY FOUND IN
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS?
 Sedimentary rocks that are
formed from the accumulation
and compression of sediments,
like sand, mud, or tiny pieces
of plants and animals, over
long periods. They're often
found in layers and can
contain fossils.
AMMONITE FOSSILS
 These ammonite fossils are the
examples found in sedimentary
rocks and are the preserved
remains of ammonoids, which
were marine creatures with
spiral shells that resembled a
ram’s horn.
 Most fossils were commonly found
in sedimentary rocks. They were
from the hard parts of the
organisms like woody stems, bones,
or teeth.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE
PICTURES?

IMPRINTS
 The first picture
represents an imprints in
which bones and scales
left a shallow external
mold.
COMPRESSIONS
 Another picture is
compressions because it
possess organic residue left
from scales, original bone.
 Another type of fossils is an imprint
or impression. Imprints are shallow
external molds left by animal or plant
tissues with little or no organic
materials present. Compression is
the other side with more organic
material
WHICH ONE IS IMPRINTS AND
COMPRESSIONS? WHY DO YOU
SAY SO?
 Imprints are shallow external molds
left by animal or plant tissues with
little or no organic materials present.

Compression is the other side with

more organic material.
