What is the chronological collection of life's remains found in layers of rock?
The answer is the fossil record :D
What is Signor-Lipps Effect?
-The tendency of loss at extinction boundaries to appear, because of incomplete sampling, more gradual in the fossil record than it actually was during the extinction event.
What is the Sepkoski Diversity Curves?
The tendency of loss at extinction boundaries to appear, because of incomplete sampling, more gradual in the fossil record than it actually was during the extinction event.
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
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.
Why is the fossil record unable to provide a full portrait of the times in which the fossilized animals and plants live?
The fossil record is incomplete.
What is one reason why the fossil record is incomplete?
The fossil record is incomplete because not all fossils have been discovered. In actuality it is unlikely that all fossils will ever be discovered given the hit and miss nature of fossil discovery which usually occurs through educated guess work. The fossil record will likely never be complete.
Why will the fossil record always be incomplete?
Because its all a lie. God created us all.
Are fossils records complete or incomplete?
Fossil records are not complete. By some estimates, less than 1% of organisms that have lived appear in the fossil record.
What is the fossil record?
The fossil record is basically the totality of fossils, discovered or undiscovered, and their placement within rock formations and sedimentary layers. The fossil record is important in helping us produce a chronology for the history of life on Earth as well as the evolutionary relationships between the organisms represented by the fossils. The number of fossils we have discovered remains incomplete, which is why we are continuously searching for more.

Do fossil records help to date fossils?
Fossil records contain radiation, and the older the fossil is, the less radiation it gives off. Scientists study how much radiation is in the fossil record, and they find out how old the earth is.
What is Non-evolutionary Trends?
-The tendency of loss at extinction boundaries to appear, because of incomplete sampling, more gradual in the fossil record than it actually was during the extinction event.
What is Signor-Lipps Effect?

What was first animal born in water?
The first animal life on Earth was in the ocean in the Precambrian time. The exact nature of the first animals is not known as the fossil record from that time is incomplete.
What is the Sepkoski Diversity Curves?
The tendency of loss at extinction boundaries to appear, because of incomplete sampling, more gradual in the fossil record than it actually was during the extinction event.
