What are two things the paleontologists can learn from fossils?
1. When that animal/plant lived. 2.What killed that animal/plant.
Why is the fossil record complete?
No, it doesn't. consider for a moment that about 98% of all life on the planet is extinct. Now consider that the conditions necessary to produce fossils does not exist everywhere. You have a clue to why we do not have a complete, or even a miniscule record of the history of life on Earth.
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.
What is a component of the fossil record?
dinosaur footprints
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.
For what animal is the most complete fossil record?
horse
Is the fossil record complete?
No, the fossil record is not complete. Not all animals and plants were fossilized during the last 4 billion years of the earths existence.
Is the fossil record of evolution of a species usually complete?
Yes
What is the fossil record and why is it complete?
because earthquakes have destroyed everything
Is the fossil complete?
No, the fossil record is not complete. Not all animals and plants were fossilized during the last 4 billion years of the earths existence.
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.
Is it true that clues about animal relationships can be found in the fossil record?
True
What are two things the paleontologists can learn from fossils?
1. When that animal/plant lived. 2.What killed that animal/plant.
Does the fossil record support the idea of evolution or the idea that God created each kind of plant and animal individually?
The Fossil Record supports the idea that God created each kind of plant and animal individually. The Fossil Record does not offer any evidence for evolution, because it reveals that God created insects, plants, humans and other living organisms.
Why is the fossil record complete?

Scientists determine evolutionary relationships between animal phyla using evidence from the?
Fossil record
What to animal groups for which there is a good fossil record showing their evolutionary development?
One would be dinosaurs.
