Younger fossils and not older fossils are more like?
this is an incoherent question that cannot possibly be answered
How do fossils give evidence of biological evolution?
By looking at the fossils and seeing how they change over time.
Why are animal fossils more abundant from the Cambrian Period than from the earlier periods?
Because Paleozoic era rock is much older than Mesozoic era rock, these strata are generally at greater depth than Mesozoic rock, thus limiting their accessibility to areas that have been exposed by weathering and erosion.
What can the scientist conclude about these birds?
Fossils in layer 5 are less than 540 million years old.
What is unique about finding trilobites among the first fossil creatures?
Many fossils are actually far older; some going back 5 or 6 times as far in history. However, trilobites are some of the oldest 'macroscopic fossils' (fossils of bigger things than bacteria and single-celled organisms) simply because they were there in large enough numbers and in the right conditions to be fossilised first too.

How are fossils a piece of evidence to support evolution?
Fossils show the progression of ancient organisms. By comparing older fossils with more recent fossils, we can see how older ones are related in body structure to newer ones, supporting the idea that new generations evolve from older ones.
In which layers were the most complex fossils located?
The most complex fossils are typically found in the upper layers of the geological strata, particularly in the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. These layers contain a diverse range of organisms, including advanced plants and animals, indicating a progression of evolutionary complexity over time. In contrast, simpler, more primitive fossils are usually found in the deeper, older layers of rock. This pattern reflects the evolutionary timeline, with more complex life forms appearing as conditions on Earth became more conducive to diverse ecosystems.
A scentist finds a rock with fossils at two different levels what she might conclude that the fossils on the bottom are older than the fossils at the top?
The fossil on the bottom would be older because as time goes on rock builds up and buries fossils so the higher it is the more recent it is.
Why are more recently deposited rock layers more likely to contain fossils resemble existing species than older rock layers?
The more recent rock layers will contain fossils that are more similar to current species because of evolution. The older the fossils, the more evolutionary changes will exist between them and current species which accounts for the greater differences.
Are trilobite fossils older than fish fossils?
No. Trilobytes are the oldest fossils ever found. They are the reason the theory of evolution is still only a theory. They were complex organisms with all the basic organs, complex eyes and a respitory sytem. If evolution is true, why for over two centuries have no fossils been found leading up to their evolutionary "place."
Is aragonite more likely to be found in younger or older fossils?
Aragonite is more likely to be found in younger fossils. This is because aragonite is a less stable form of calcium carbonate compared to calcite, which tends to recrystallize into calcite over time in older fossils.
What are the difference between reworked fossils and leaked fossils?
From the law of faunal succession,older beds are characterized by fossils of older age and the younger beds are characterized by younger age fossils.But in some exceptional condition the younger fossils are reported in the older formation and those are termed as leaked fossils. whereas,Fossils of older age occur in younger rock are known as reworked fossils.They are derived from the older rocks by reworking ad recycling of sediments.
How does fossils size relate to faunal succession?
The size of fossils can be used to help determine the relative age of rock layers in faunal succession. Generally, smaller and simpler organisms are found in older rock layers, while larger and more complex organisms are found in younger rock layers. This principle is known as the Law of Faunal Succession.
Why do you read the time scale starting at the bottom?
We read the Geologic timescale from the bottom to the top because, that is the same way geologists and paleontologists had found the older fossils. The older fossils lay at the bottom, and the more younger ones, near the top.
Are there more teeth fossils than skin fossils?
yes there are more teeth fossils than skin fossils
Fossils in newers layers of earth tend to resemble current?
The principle of fossil succession states that fossils found in younger layers of rock tend to be more similar to current species, while fossils in older layers differ more. This is because newer fossils represent species that have evolved and survived to the present day, while older fossils may belong to species that have become extinct. This pattern helps scientists understand the evolution and biodiversity of life on Earth.
