Question

the order of fossil preservation. put the events at the right in the correct order based on which event took place first. order the elements from bottom to top with bottom being the oldest and top being the most recent. drag the events up or down to place them in a new location. when all the events are in the correct position, click \submit\. decomposition of organisms original community of organisms tropical storm event burial of organisms mineral crust death mask time and pressure harden sediments discovery of fossils erosion of sandstone

Explanation:

Fossilization starts with an original community of organisms. A tropical - storm event can then occur, leading to burial of organisms. After burial, decomposition of organisms may happen. Over time, a mineral crust (death mask) can form. Time and pressure harden sediments. Erosion of sandstone can expose fossils which are then discovered.

Answer:

1. Original community of organisms
2. Tropical storm event
3. Burial of organisms
4. Decomposition of organisms
5. Mineral Crust Death Mask
6. Time and pressure harden sediments
7. Erosion of sandstone
8. Discovery of fossils
