What is the chronological collection of life's remains found in layers of rock?
The answer is the fossil record :D
Is a sedimentary rock a fossil?
A fossil is any record of an organism preserved in rock, whether it be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Nearly all fossils are discovered in sedimentary rock.
What is umcomformities?
Gaps in the fossil record/ rock layers because of erosion in the soil.
What is the chronological collection of lifes remains found in layers of rock?
Fossil record
Which evidence for evolution uses impressions of plants and animals pressed into sedimentary rock?
The evidence for evolution that uses impressions of plants and animals into sedimentary rock is the study of fossils. The study of fossils and where they are found is a determining factor about what was going on in a period of history.
What do fossil forms of evolution show?
The transition of phyla of organisms over time. That is the great strength of the fossil record; evolution shown in the sedimentary rock.
What is the difference between trace fossil and index fossil?
A trace fossil is one that merely indicates that an organism left evidence of its existence. Some examples would be burrows or footprints that appear in sedimentary rock. An index fossil is of an organism that dates to a particular time in the geologic record, the organism only appearing in a certain segment of that record. Index fossils are indicators of the age of the rock in which they are found.
Once an organism disappears from the sequence of rock layers it becomes extinct?
A fossil is proof that an animal existed at one time, leaving evidence in rock. If that fossil does not appear in successive layers, there is no proof that the organism existed beyond its fossil record, and it is considered to have gone extinct.
The earliest record of mammals comes from which of what rock layers?
The earliest record of mammals comes from sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are deposited in layers. They are an important source of natural resources, such as coal, fossil fuel, and ore.
What is fossil record?
The fossil record is the information about the fossils found in a particular location.
How are fossil organized in the fossil record?
The fossil record organizes fos- sils by their estimated ages and physical similarities.
How does the fossil record organize fossil?
The fossil record organizes fos- sils by their estimated ages and physical similarities.
