Evidence for Macroevolution
• Types of fossils, continued:
– Molds
• Organism is buried, decays, thus leaving an empty space outlining the organism
•
– Petrified
• Minerals penetrate and replace the hard parts of an organism
•
•
– Amber or frozen
• Occurs when an entire organism becomes trapped in ice or tree sap that hardened into amber
