You have discovered a fossil-bearing layer in East Africa and you wish to estimate its age. There are abundant fossils of many savanna species, and you have identified most of them to species or genus. You know that the genus Equus makes its first appearance in Africa at 2.3 mya, and the species Connochaetes gnou first appears at about 1.07 mya. 1. If your site includes both Equus and Connochaetes gnou, - It is probably younger than 1.07 mya. - The younger species is the key here. The site cannot be older than 1.07 mya if the species did not exist before that time.
2. If your site contains neither Equus nor Connochaetes gnou, - You cannot determine the relative date of this site using these species. - Biostratigraphic dating relies on the existence of certain species at sites for comparison against index species.
3. If your site includes Equus but not Connochaetes gnou, - It may date to between 1.07 and 2.3 mya. - The lack of the younger species indicates that the site is likely older than 1.07 mya.

Clues to ecological principles are given in numerous passages of the bible. a bible study of ecology actually opens the doors to better understanding of god's love and concern for the earth. use a concordance to locate bible passages associated with words concerning our stewardship of the earth. you may use a dictionary to find synonyms for these words: dominion replenish subdue judgment stewardship find each of the passages using these words related to principles of ecology. list all passages by quote, book, chapter, and verse under each word. use your own interpretation to rewrite what you think each verse is saying. after your discussion of each of these words, ask one other person to explain his understanding of the word and a related verse without any hints. summarize what he tells you. a concluding paragraph for each of the words should be written noting similarities and differences between your interpretation and that of each person consulted.
