Paleontology Facts
 Paleontology is the branch of
biology that studies the forms
of life, especially fossils!
 Fossils are the
remains of ancient
animals and plants
 Most fossils are
excavated from
sedimentary rock
layers.
Totally Dino Vocabulary
How fossils happen:
1. A long, long time ago, a
dinosaur died.
2. The dinosaur was buried by
sediment or sand.
3. The dinosaur’s bones underwent
chemical changes over hundreds of
years called fossilization.
4. In the end, the fossils became like
a hard rock copy of the dinosaur.
5. Now excavators can dig up the
copies and learn more about
dinosaurs!
Tips for Parents: Learning new and different
words will help your child with early literacy and
better prepare them for the challenges of
school.
