What else can I help you with?
What are traces or remains of organisms that lived in the past?
Fossils are proof of organisms that lived long ago
Fossil evidence indicates that most extinct primate species lived in trees?
false
What kind of information do scientist use to classify organisms?
Taxonomists use fossil records, morphological structures, and DNA/genetic information in order to classify organisms into different kingdoms, phylums, and classes.
Darwins opinion that living forms must be descended from extinct forms?
It was based on fossil evidence
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 are ancient organisms preserved in a rock called?
A fossil is any evidence of an organism preserved in rock.
Which of the following is true about species whose evidence is preserved in the fossil record?
Most of the species have become extinct.
How do you use fossil and extinct in the same sentence?

What the definition of trace fossils?
A type of fossil that provides evidence of the activities of ancient organisms.
A footprint of an extinct dinosaur is an example of a fossil?
Yes, footprints that are preserved in rock, such as those of extinct dinosaurs, are fossils. Such fossils are known as ''trace fossils'' , as opposed to ''body fossils'' which are fossilized remnants of the hard parts of these ancient organisms.
What does comparing organisms in the fossil record provide evidence for?
Comparing organisms in the fossil record provides evidence for evolutionary relationships and how species have changed over time. It helps researchers understand the history of life on Earth, including the emergence of new species and the extinction of others. Fossils also provide insights into how organisms have adapted to changing environments.
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.
