Geocache Description:


[EST] VĂ”ite olla ĂŒllatunud, kui sageli te eelajaloolistest loomadest mööda lĂ€hete, neid isegi mĂ€rkamata. Fossiile vĂ”ib leida kĂ”ige ebatĂ”enĂ€olisemates kohtades. Kohtades, kus neid kindlasti ei ootaks! NĂ€iteks nagu antud juhul – kaubamajas. Kivistised asuvad trepikojas, mis viib alumiselt korruselt 1. korrusele.
PUHUL NA JUURDEPÄÄS IGA PÄEV 9.00–23.00. (vĂ”ib varieeruda olenevalt poe lahtiolekuaegadest)

[ENG] You might be surprised how often you walk past prehistoric animals without even noticing them. You can find fossils in the most unlikely places. In places where you would definitely not expect them! For example, as in this case - in a department store. The fossils are located on the staircase that leads from the ground floor to the 1st floor.
CACHE IS AVAILABLE EVERY DAY from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (may vary depending on store opening hours)

SÕNA FOSSIILI MÄÄRATLUS / DEFINITION OF THE WORD FOSSIL:

 

Fossiilid on eelajalooliste organismide jÀÀnused, mis on sĂ€ilinud tĂ€napĂ€evani. Fossiil vĂ”ib olla dinosauruse luu vĂ”i iidsete puude kivistunud tĂŒvede jĂ€ljend. Viz on mis tahes tĂ€ielik vĂ”i mittetĂ€ielik loomse vĂ”i taimse pĂ€ritoluga jÀÀnused, mis on vanemad kui 10 000 aastat (pleistotseen ja varasem). Kuid sĂ€ilmed peavad andma meile vĂ€hemalt aimu eelajaloolise organismi kujust ja struktuurist. KĂ”ige sagedamini sĂ€ilivad organismide kĂ”vad osad - luud, hambad, karbid, karbid vĂ”i kahepoolmeliste karbid.

Fossiilid on materiaalsed tÔendid meie planeedil geoloogilises minevikus eksisteerinud elu olemasolust.


Fossils are the remains of prehistoric organisms that have survived to the present. A fossil can be an imprint of a dinosaur bone or petrified trunks of ancient trees. They are any, whether complete or incomplete, remains of animal or plant origin older than 10,000 years (Pleistocene and older). However, the remains must give us at least a basic idea of the shape and structure of the prehistoric organism. Hard parts of organisms are most often preserved - bones, teeth, shells, shells or shells of bivalves.

Fossils are material proof of the existence of life that existed on our planet in the geological past.


ILUSTRATIIVNE NÄIDE FOSSILISEERIMISEST / ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE OF FOSSILIZATION:

1. Dinosaurus sureb jÔes. / A dinosaur dies in a river.

2. Dinosaurus keha na kaetud setetega. Liha na lagunenud, kuid luustik na alles. / The dinosaur's body is covered in sediment. The flesh decomposed, but the skeleton remained.

3. Lisanduvad settekihid, toimub tihenemine. Setted muutuvad kivideks a dinosauruste luud fossiilideks. / Layers of sediment are added, compaction occurs. Sediments become rocks and dinosaur bones become fossils.

4. Kivikihid tÔusevad pinnale. / Layers of rock rise to the surface.

5. Erosioon paljastab fossiili. / Erosion reveals a fossil.

 

VahemĂ€lu vĂ”imalikuks logimiseks kĂŒlastage vahemĂ€lu koordinaate a saatke vastused nendele kĂŒsimustele profiliili vĂ”i e-posti teel:

1. Selgitage, kes vÔi mis on fossiil?

2. Kirjeldage lĂŒhidalt, kuidas tekib fossiil?

3. Mitu aastat peab mööduma, enne kui saame liigitada fossiili fossiiliks?

4. Minnes alumiselt korruselt 1. korrusele, mitmendal trepiastmel avastasite suurima fossiili?

5. Tehke trepil oleva fossiiliga foto. Pildil vÔite olla ise, osa endast, oma kasutajanimi vÔi maskott. PÀrast trepikoja rekonstrueerimist fossiili paigast enam ei leita. Piisab fotost trepiga.

6. Vabatahtlik ĂŒlesanne: vĂ”ite oma logis mainida, kus vĂ”i millal nĂ€gite oma elu kĂ”ige huvitavamat vĂ”i suurimat fossiili? 

 

For possible cache logging, visit the cache coordinates and send the answers to these questions to the profile or email:

1. Explain who or what is a fossil?
2. Briefly describe how a fossil is formed?
3. How many years must pass before we can classify a fossil as a fossil?
4. From the ground floor to the 1st floor - guess on which step of this staircase you discovered the biggest fossil?
5. Create a photo with any fossil on the staircase. You can use yourself, nickname, cwg or your mascot. After the reconstruction of the staircase, the fossil is no longer found at the site. A photo with a staircase will suffice.
6. Voluntary task: can you tell in your log where or when you saw the most interesting or largest fossil in your life?
