Closely examine each fossile. Then, complete the table to record your observations, which should include these details:
• Predicted kingdom: Classify the fossil based on whether it shows the characteristics of a plant, animal, or fungi.
• Physical characteristics: Note the shape, patterns, and any other physical features of the fossils.
• Predictions about its environment: Based on the features of the fossil, what type of environment did the
organism live in? Was it an aquatic organism or a land organism? Did it require a hot or cold climate?
• Similar living organisms: Try to identify a present-day organism that resembles your fossil. What characteristics do
the two organisms share? What characteristics are different?
