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 else can I help you with?
Which statement explains something that the fossil record indicates?
The fossil record tells us what types, kinds, and numbers of organisms may have lived in the past, as well as what they ate, what age they lived in, how they moved, where they lived, Their activities, how they breathed, how they reproduced, their appearance, the climate they lived in, how they died, their lifespan, and what led to their evolution and their extinction.
Principle of fossil succession?
The Law of Fossil Succession states that fossil organisms originate, coexist, and disappear from the geologic record in a definite sequential order.
One reason the Precambrian rock record is difficult to interpret is because its rocks?
It's rocks are severely bent and folded.
How does the fossil record show that species have changed over time?
The fossil record gives us snapshots of the life at one time. We can compare these to modern life and see what traits where key to survival and survived until today. During the age of the dinosaurs when the planet was warmer being cold blooded was an advantage and during ice ages fur and fat where greater advantages.
What States that fossil organisms succeed one another in a definite and determinable order?
The principle of Fossil succession states that fossil organisms succeed one another in a definite and determinable order. Therefore, any time period can be recognized by its fossil content.
Is a ilang ilang a complete or incomplete flower?
the one that I have in my backyard is incomplete
What is one of the greatest challanges archaeologists face when examining a fossil?
The answer is probably either digging them up, figuring out their age, or figuring out what animal they belong to. If I chose between those 3 answers I would choose 'figuring out what animal they belong to' because digging is hard, but they have tools to help them out, and because for figuring out their age, you just have to use their special program on their computer to analyze, while figuring out the animal is super hard. I have no idea if I am wrong or right. Sorry if I am wrong.
Use fossils in a sentence?
Fossils of dinosaurs are found by paleontologists, maybe one day one will find a fossil of you From: Waqar Moghul * A mature answer would be: The Blue- Jay is a particular species of bird
What to animal groups for which there is a good fossil record showing their evolutionary development?
Some animal groups with a good fossil record showing their evolutionary development include dinosaurs, mammals, and marine invertebrates like trilobites. Fossil evidence of these groups has allowed scientists to trace their evolutionary history and understand how they diversified and adapted over time.
What is incomplete flowers?
An incomplete flower is when a flower doesn't have one of these characteristics, stamen, a pistil, petals, and sepals. An incomplete flower lacks one of these.
When reading the amount of volume one reason the what?
It seems like your question is incomplete or unclear. Can you please provide more information or clarify what you are asking about volume?
What is the most likely reason animals will not become fossils?
it takes millions of years to get a fossil. so you will need to wait 1,000,000 years to get that. no one can get a fossil, but only is you are like 1,050,000 years old. :)
What does Lucy have to do with Africa and science?
Lucy was not a person (if that's what your thinking), but the first fossil of the early humans (cavemen). The fossil was found in Africa and fossils have a lot to do with science. The reason why they (or the one person who found the fossil) named the fossil Lucy was probably because the fossil was a girl. But out of all the girl names why would they name it Lucy? That's their decision.
What is the origin of orangutan?
The orangutans ancient origin is not agreed upon. One hypothesis says it originated from Lufengpithecus, while another maintains that they originated from Sivapithecus. The fossil record of the living great apes is poor and the orangutan is the only great ape that has a fossil record linking early forms to later forms (there has never been an African fossil found that is related to chimpanzees or gorillas).
The fossil record is incomplete because?
The fossil record is incomplete because: A.) very few organisms were preserved as fossils. B.) organisms tend to decay before becoming a fossil. C.) animals with hard parts are preserved more easily. D.) geological processes may destroy fossils. E.) all of these. ALL OF THESE!
What type of evolution that is described by a slow ongoing process and also theorized by Darwin and the fossil record?
The type of evolution described is gradualism, which suggests that change occurs slowly and steadily over time, as proposed by Darwin. This concept is supported by evidence from the fossil record, which shows a gradual transition from one species to another.
Which statement explains something that the fossil record indicates?
The fossil record tells us what types, kinds, and numbers of organisms may have lived in the past, as well as what they ate, what age they lived in, how they moved, where they lived, Their activities, how they breathed, how they reproduced, their appearance, the climate they lived in, how they died, their lifespan, and what led to their evolution and their extinction.
