The answer is the fossil record :D
They become trace fossils, which tell a lot about an animal without showing any part of the animal. If they were left in mud, they harden, becoming a fossil.
The fossil record provides nothing good for paleontologists.
when did the equus frist appear in the fossil record
It is fully decomposed by bacteria and fungi.
The range would be the span of time between the point in the geologic record the fossil organism first appeared to the point in the geologic record that the organism last appeared.
The fossil record.
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.

The fossil record provides evidence about the history of life and past environment on earth. The fossil record also shows that different groups of organism have changed over time.
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.
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.
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 answer is the fossil record :D
1. When that animal/plant lived. 2.What killed that animal/plant.
The fossil record is the information about the fossils found in a particular location.
