| Research Abstract |
Fossilization that means the process from living animals and plants to fossil ones in geologic time is essential for appreciating fossils. An experimental method for understanding the fossilization was developed in this study, using living and fossil ostracods, small crustacean. At first, organic structure and ecology of ostracoda are understood through observation of living ones. Alterations and losses are traceable by observing deposited mortal remains on the bottom of aquarium. At last, these remains are compared with fossil ostracods from strata.
