The history of the Earth and the history of life on Earth.
What else can I help you with?
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 the chronological collection of lifes remains found in layers of rock?
Fossil record
What is umcomformities?
Gaps in the fossil record/ rock layers because of erosion in the soil.
Why is the fossil record unable to provide a full portrait of the times in which the fossilized animals and plants lived?
The fossil record is incomplete because not all organisms fossilize, and not all fossils are found or preserved. Fossilization depends on specific conditions such as rapid burial and mineralization. Therefore, the fossil record only represents a small fraction of the organisms that lived in the past.
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.
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.
How does the fossil record organize fossil?
The fossil record organizes fos- sils by their estimated ages and physical similarities.
How are fossil organized in the fossil record?
The fossil record organizes fos- sils by their estimated ages and physical similarities.
Which New York State index fossil may have been present in a rock layer that is missing due to the unconformity?
The trilobite species Eldredgeops rana is a common New York State index fossil found in Devonian rock layers. If a rock layer containing this index fossil is missing due to unconformity, it suggests a gap in the rock record where deposition ceased, erosion occurred, and then new sediment layers were deposited on top.
How do you donate a fossil in Fossil Fighters?
You need to clean the same fossil rock a couple of times and then it immediately donates the fossil 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.
