To support the hypothesis that Earth experienced an ice age after the time of the dinosaurs, we would look for certain types of fossils in the strata above the dinosaur fossils.
The correct answer would involve finding fossils of organisms that are indicative of colder climates, such as:
- Fossils of plants like conifers or mosses that thrive in colder, harsher conditions.
- Fossils of animals such as mammoths or saber-toothed cats, which are known to have lived during ice ages.
- Fossils of ice age mammals or specialized cold-adapted species.
If the options A, B, C, and D are a list of possible fossils, look for mentions of cold-climate or ice age-associated species, as these would be the strongest evidence for the existence of an ice age above the layer where dinosaur fossils are found.
If you could provide the options (A, B, C, D), I can help you determine the best choice based on that information.
