PPT-The fossil Record

What we will learn about Fossils We will learn how fossils form What types of fossils exist How do scientists determine the age of fossils What do fossils reveal to scientists What is a fossil. The Green River Stone Company offers the finest in natural art fossil fish and stone products. Our medium is fossil-rich calcium carbonate shale from our private quarry in Southwestern Wyoming. From this stone, deposited 50 million years ago as sediment in a large freshwater lake, we produce individual fossil specimens, artistic fossil murals, and other stone products for museums, private collectors, interior designers and architects.
