Petrified And Preserved Fossil? Petrified- when minerals soak into buried remains, hardening it. Presevered-when an organism is trapped in rock, ice, tar, and amber.

Phanerozoic Eon Current Eon, 3 diff Eras. Paleozoic Mesozoic, cenozoic
Paleozoic Era life on land was in trpical climates. Sea levels changed. New life forms. continents collided.mountains built up.volcanic activity. Fish Arachnids insects amphibians reptiles (dominants)Early invertebrates
Mesozoic Era Plate boundaries, rapid plate movement,plants and animals had adaptations that helped them survive. Dminant reptile dinosaurs small mammals birds flowering plants. mass extinction of dinosaurs ended era.
