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.
What did the Utah raptor evolve into?
The utahraptor could hve evolved into any dinosaur that that would have feathers and lived in the late cretacious
Why chronoperates paradoxus would not be a good index fossil?

Which characteristics of a fossil would you make it useful as an index fossil in determining the relative age of widely separated rock layers?
C). a narrow time range and a wide geographic range
