The fossil record is thought to organize things in age order with the older rocks behind at the bottom and newer rocks being at the top.
Recording fossils No.
Fossils are proof of organisms that lived long ago
Some of the fossils found in the Philippines include the remains of the Homo luzonensis, a newly discovered human species, as well as fossils of prehistoric animals like Stegodon, a type of elephant, and various species of prehistoric rhinoceros, crocodiles, and turtles. The Philippines is also known for its rich marine fossil record, including ancient shark teeth and marine reptile fossils.
Yes, small fossils are generally more common than big ones. Small fossils are more easily preserved and less likely to be destroyed over time compared to larger fossils, making them more abundant in the fossil record. Additionally, the small size of some organisms may contribute to their higher numbers in the fossil record.
Fossils can form even if microbes are not present. Microbial fossils, such as stromatolites, can form when microbes are present and leave behind structures or chemical signatures that are preserved in the rock record. Non-microbial fossils can include the preserved remains of plants, animals, or other organisms from ancient environments.
The sum of all the fossils that exist is called that fossil record. It includes fossils from all geologic time periods.

The fossils of the oldest life forms can be found in the Precambrian period of the fossil record.
Recording fossils No.
a fossil record shows what types of fossils there are
Fossil records contain radiation, and the older the fossil is, the less radiation it gives off. Scientists study how much radiation is in the fossil record, and they find out how old the earth is.
Fossil Record
Paleontologists study the record of life on Earth left as fossils
order in which fossils are found in the fossil record.
A fossil record is a historical sequence of life indicated by fossils found in layers of Earth's crust.
By definition, we could say all three fossils are 'ancient'. Fossils provide an ancient record of plants and animals.
