The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the study of fossils in different aged rocks and identify the statement that is incorrect, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Fossils**: - Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past. They provide valuable information about extinct organisms, including plants and animals. 2. **Analyze Each Statement**: - **Statement A**: "They probably died during the formation of that particular sediment." - This statement is correct. Fossils can indeed form from organisms that died and were buried in sediment, leading to their preservation. - **Statement B**: "Some of them appear similar to modern organisms." - This statement is also correct. Many fossils show similarities to modern organisms, indicating evolutionary relationships. - **Statement C**: "Life forms varied over time and certain forms were restricted to certain geological time spans." - This statement is correct as well. The fossil record shows that life forms have changed over geological time, with certain species existing only during specific eras. - **Statement D**: "They don't represent extinct organisms." - This statement is incorrect. Fossils are, by definition, the remains of extinct organisms. Thus, this statement contradicts the very definition of fossils. 3. **Identify the Exception**: - Since we are looking for the statement that is not true regarding fossils, we can conclude that **Statement D** is the exception. Fossils do represent extinct organisms. ### Final Answer: The study of fossils in different aged rocks shows all of the following except: **They don't represent extinct organisms.** ---
