What would happen to the fossil records if a toucan became extinct?
Nothing would happen todays time. Fossils are evidence from the past. If the toucan were to become extinct there would be no fossil records of this specific generation of toucan. The fossil record would be the same only you can look back to see what random mutation occurred that was not adventageous causing this species to go extinct.
How the fossil record indicates a long history of changing life forms.?
The fossil record shows that different species have evolved over time. The fossil record also provides evidence of how a specific organism evolved from earlier species. The fossil record shows that organisms have become more complex over time. It also shows which organisms lived during the same time period, which have a common ancestor, and which have become extinct.

The fossil record shows that periods of what are followed by diversity in organisms?
The fossil record shows that periods of mass extinctions are followed by bursts of diversity in organisms. This phenomenon is known as adaptive radiation, where surviving species rapidly diversify to fill empty ecological niches left by the extinct species.
