PROBLEM: How can you use fossils to date and determine the paleoenvironment of an area?

HYPOTHESIS:

MATERIALS: Earth Science - Fossils

1.  Look at the range chart from the reader and determine the age of this specimen. 

2.  Look at the fossils and try and interpret what kind of environment existed when these animals where present in that area.  Try and determine if it was deep ocean water, shallow water, shallow marine, or even fresh water like a lake.
