For what animal is the most complete fossil record available?
horse
The most complete fossil record of past invertebrate life in NJ can be found in rocks of with era?
paleozoic
What is the most common animal fossil found in New Zealand?
Sharks teeth are pretty common, and complete fossil skeletons of Penguin are found in North Otago. But fossil fish skeletons are also quite common.
What important event in the animal evolution marks the beginning of the Cambrian?
Referred to as the "Cambrian explosion", most major animal groups first appeared in the fossil record beginning about 530 million years ago.
The fossil record is not complete because?
The fossil record of all species is not complete because the circumstances for fossils to occur is very rare. There must be a special type of sediment, a special type of death (not partially eaten). Therefore, not all species or mutations can be accounted for, however, there are documented fossils for most species or at least close relations
What are the most deadliest animals in Idaho?
In prehistoric times there were several really mean critters acording to the fossil record. Today the deadliest animal in Idaho is man.
What does the term fossil mean?
A living fossil generally refers to a living organism, animal or plant, whose species has been around long enough on the planet to be part of the fossil record. Most fossilized species are extinct, but there are a few which are either still in existence, or have descendents which closely resemble them.
Did every ancient animal create a fossil?
No, not every ancient animal created a fossil. Fossilization is a rare process that requires specific conditions such as quick burial and the presence of minerals to preserve an organism's remains. As a result, the fossil record represents only a small fraction of all the organisms that have lived on Earth.
Where does the most evidence for evolution comes from?
The most compelling evidence, as well as the greatest amount of observational data to support the evolutionary model and aid in its refinement, comes from genetics and comparative genomics. The genomic record (the complete library of all sequenced genomes and the genes they contain) is by far the most complete record of evolution that we have at our disposal. Additionally, the fossil record can be used to test and verify hypotheses regarding timing of emergence, behaviours and morphology of ancestral forms.
Were there very many allosaurus in those days?
Allosaurus is the most common meat eating dinosaur fossil in the areas where it lived. Sometimes an animal's lifestyle makes it disproportionately likely or unlikely to fossilize, but since Allosaurus is so common in the fossil record, they were probably relatively common when they existed.
A geologist is studying layers of rock He finds a fossil with an imprint of a shelled animal According to the law of faunal and floral succession what kind of fossil would he most likely find next?
A geologist is studying layers of rock He finds a fossil with an imprint of a shelled animal According to the law of faunal and floral succession what kind of fossil would he most likely find next is a fossil of fishes.
Which of the following is true about species whose evidence is preserved in the fossil record?
Most of the species have become extinct.
