Match the items with the correct descriptions.

Premises:
fossil poop
a fossil organism that is restricted to a certain brief stretch of geologic time, but was widespread and abundant during its time on Earth
the notion that we can understand the geologic past by focusing on present day processes and physical laws; geologic change may be slow or gradual
a group of fossils that co-existed at the same time. Their overlapping ranges can help constrain the age of a rock unit that contains them
fossil tree sap
the defunct notion that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, and that all geologic change is accomplished rapidly through violent events
indirect evidence of ancient life, such as footprints, bite marks, and gastroliths
the remains or traces of ancient life
