Knowing the age of the sediments is important as it tells us how much further we still have to drill to reach our targets, or if we are getting close to dangerous layers of oil and gas. Shipboard scientists use fossilized plankton to work out how old their material is. Several groups of plankton produce external skeletons, and when the plankton dies, their skeletons sink to the seafloor where they are preserved in the sediment. The plankton species that are alive today are very different from those in the past, just like terrestrial animals: millions of years ago we had dinosaurs and flying reptiles, today we have mammals and birds.</p> <p>Video Resources for this activity:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nydKlpZdIU&list=PLroDmZEKRHPMCtFMzjx-Zg7plqnIqWMjI&index=2&t=242s">Introducing the International Ocean Discovery Program</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9tsdAQBcfM&list=PLroDmZEKRHPMCtFMzjx-Zg7plqnIqWMjI&index=3&t=0s">How Science Works</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0bcIoALDFg&list=PLroDmZEKRHPMCtFMzjx-Zg7plqnIqWMjI&index=4&t=341s">PNN Special Report: Life on Board</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/3bCLYXJ4QLs">Finding Fossils</a></p> <p>Developed by Dr. Anieke Brombacher on <a href="https://joidesresolution.org/expedition/383/">Expedition 383: Dynamics of Pacific Antarctic Circumpolar Current</a>.
