Fossils are the remains of plants or animals from prehistoric times. They are a rarity as most organisms, then and now, are either consumed by other organisms or completely decay at death. Fossil remains are preserved in a variety of ways. Petrifaction One method of fossilization is petrifaction...
The word fossil comes from the Latin term fossilis, meaning "dug up." Fossils are formed when an organism is buried by water containing debris and minerals, and through the effects of wind or gravity. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Fossils can also be found in metamorphic rock...
Adoption of 3D printing has reached critical mass as those who have yet to integrate additive manufacturing somewhere in their supply chain are now part of an ever-shrinking minority. Where 3D printing was only suitable for prototyping and one-off manufacturing in the early stages, it is now ...
The region is famous for the large number of human fossils (化石) that have been discovered there, alongside an impressive assembly of stone tools. The sand-stones themselves have previously yielded some of the world's earliest complex hand axes — large tear-drop-shaped stone tools that are ...
How is a trace fossil formed?Body Fossil:Boddy fossils are, in a sense, the opposite of trace fossils. They are fossils that form directly from the remains of dead organisms, such as bones, petrified wood, teeth, shells, and so on. Body fossils are also more common than trace fossils....

These round markings are actually small hemispheres within the outer husk of the agate nodule. Most pieces of agate do not have "eyes," so stones that do have them are especially prized by collectors. Natural glasses: Obsidian is a natural glass formed during an eruption of silica-rich magma...
【解析】第二段中 the researchers found distinctive but unusual biological molecules(分子)that are often interpreted as biomarkers for heat-tolerant bacteria. Some of these live in water between 85°C and 95°C. The molecules’ presence suggests that an ancient river within the Gorge was once fed...
Together with his team, he analyzed 1.7 million-year-old sand-stones that formed in an ancient river at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The region is famous for the large number of human fossils(化石) that have been discovered there, alongside an impressive assembly of stone tools. The sand-...
