What is the chronological collection of life's remains found in layers of rock?
The answer is the fossil record :D
How do tracks and burrows end up in the rock and fossil record?
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.
What does the fossil record provide for paleontologists?
The fossil record provides nothing good for paleontologists.
When did the Equus first appear in the fossil record?
when did the equus frist appear in the fossil record
What would prevent an organism from becoming part of the fossil record when it dies?
It is fully decomposed by bacteria and fungi.
What is the definition of range of a fossil species?
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.
What is the evidence of an organism from more than 10000 years ago?
The fossil record.
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.
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.
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.
What is the chronological collection of life's remains found in layers of rock?
The answer is the fossil record :D
What are two things the paleontologists can learn from fossils?
1. When that animal/plant lived. 2.What killed that animal/plant.
What is fossil record?
