  1. Classification and Identification of Fossils Lab # 3

  2. Classification and Taxonomy • Kingdom Animalia • Phylum Chordata • Class Mammalia • Order Carnivora • Family Felidae • Genus Felis • Species domestica

  3. Classification and Taxonomy • Developed by Linnaeus in the early 18Th century. • Species is the basic unit of the system. • It is a binomial (two parts) formal designation for each species. • Is composed by the capitalized name of the genus (plural-genera), followed by the uncapitalized name of the species (plural-species).

  4. Body Composition Kingdom Designation Cellular Organization Monera procaryotic Unicellular Protista Multicellular Fungi eucaryotic Plantae Animalia

  5. Kingdom Monera • Bacteria, blue-green algae • Kingdom Protista • Phylum Protozoa • Class Sarcodina- “amoebas” • Order Foraminiferida- marine amoebas with CaCO3 skeletons • Order Radiolaria- marine amoebas with opal skeletons • Kingdom Fungi • the fungi

  6. Kingdom MoneraBacteria, blue-green algae

  7. Kingdom ProtistaOrder Foraminiferida

  8. Kingdom Protista Order Radiolaria

  9. Kingdom Fungi

  10. Kingdom Plantae- the plant kingdom • Algae- several groups of aquatic plants, some of which secrete calcite or aragonite skeleton. • Phylum Bryophyta- the mosses and liverworts • Phylum Tracheophyta- the vascular plants

  11. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that occur in most habitats. They vary from small, single-celled forms to complex multicellular forms, such as the giant kelps that grow to 65 meters in length.. The US Algal Collection is represented by almost 300,000 accessioned and inventoried herbarium specimens. Kingdom Plantae Algae

  20. Kingdom Animalia • Phylum Echinodermata • Class Blastoidea- blastoid • Class Crinoidea- sea lilies • Class Asteroidea- star fish • Class Echinoidea- sea urchins • Phylum Protochordata (Hemichordata) • Phylum Chodata • Class Pisces- fish • Class Amphibia- frogs etc… • Class Reptilia- dinosaurs, turtles etc… • Class Mammalia- mammals
