Paleontology - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Exploring Paleoecology: Interactions Across Geologic Time

Paleoecology studies the interactions between life and non-living factors in environments over millions of years. Scientists reconstruct ancient environments using paleontology, sedimentology, and chemistry. Foraminifera, single-celled organisms with calcium carbonate shells, are valuable index foss
