the answere is the missing link... you can check by looking at page 145 in the life science book third edition :D
Index fossilsFossils of organisms that lived during a relatively short geologic time span.The three conditionsTo be an index fossil, a fossil organism must be found throughout the world. It must be easy to identify and many fossils of that organism must exist.-Haileybh"I hope it helped you!"
The Eurypterids in these cross sections not useful as index fossil because they are only found in certain areas are a long lived organism
A preserved fossil is an organism or Animal that has been PERFECTLY PRESERVED for lots of years, or however old it may be. For example, a wooly mammoth frozen in the ice for millions of years would be known as a preserved fossil.There are 2 different types of fossil preservation- preservation with alteration and without. With alteration also has different types. The type of organism you are looking for depends on the how it was preserved.
The question is a bit vague because it can be interpreted two different ways. Who found the first bird fossil ... (as in the very first bird that ever evolved). ... is an ongoing process since there have been recent discoveries of earlier dinosaur birds that the first found. A more accurate question would be who was the first person to find a bird fossil. In which case that wouldn't be the whole bird but just one feather. Which would be... Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer found in c.1860. For 150 years, a species called Archaeopteryx has been regarded as the first true bird, representing a major evolutionary step away from dinosaurs.
Distribution The region where an organism is found Abundance The number of individuals in an area The density
The oldest fossil organism found lived approximately 3.5 billion years ago. The fossil is that of a single-celled organism called Archaea.
Fossil records that are found by archaeologists are a majority of this. It does not have to be fossil records though. For example, whales have a pelvic and femur bone near their fins. We believe that millions of yrs ago whales walked and they evolved to have fins and flippers.
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.
yes but only where dead organism
Petrified fossil is an organism that has been converted into stone. Silica, iron and copper minerals can be commonly found in petrified fossils.

In general ; the deeper its found the older it is.
A type of fossil that preserves delicate details of an organism after pressure squeezes out liquids and gases is called a carbon film fossil. This type of fossil forms when an organism decays, leaving behind a thin layer of carbon residue that replicates the original structure. Carbon film fossils are often found on rocks such as shale or slate where the conditions were right for preservation.

All fossil found to date were missing link. Missing link is a non-scientific term describe new found transitional fossil. Any single fossil found and placed along the line of evolution would yield 2 new missing link mathematically.
yeah buddy
