What is the Difference between Precambrian rocks and Paleozoic rocks?
Precambrian rocks are older than Paleozoic rocks, dating back to about 4.6 billion to 541 million years ago, while Paleozoic rocks were formed from 541 to 252 million years ago. Precambrian rocks lack fossils, while Paleozoic rocks contain abundant fossil evidence of early marine life. Additionally, Paleozoic rocks mark the beginning of complex life forms, whereas Precambrian rocks mainly consist of simpler organisms.
Why are more fossils found in the paleozoic era than in the precambrian era?
During the Precambrian times, life was mostly limited to single celled organisms. Life that was not single cellular didn't have any hard body part (like teeth, bones, shells, etc.) and so they weren't preserved.
What is the Geologic time with the poorest fossil record?
Precambrian
What life form that lived during the Paleozoic period is an important index fossil?
The life forms that lived during the Paleozoic are Permian, the Carboniferous, (both the Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian), the Devonian,the Silurian, the Ordovician, the Cambrian, and the Precambrian. The Paleozoic Era lasted from 570 to 225 Million Years Ago. Complex forms of life appear. During this 345 million year period, plants and animals underwent rapid evolution.The Paleozoic era lasted about 345 million years. It includes the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods. Index fossils of the first half of the Paleozoic era are those of invertebrates, such as trilobites, graptolites, and crinoids. Remains of plants and such vertebrates as fish and reptiles make up the index fossils of the second half of this era.
What geologic time period was the trilobite fossil associated?
Trilobites were associated with the Paleozoic era, from the Cambrian to the Permian.

How long ago did The Paleozoic era began?
The Paleozoic era began about 543 million years ago. It came after the Precambrian era and before the Mesozoic era.
What is the bottom layer of a fossil?
The paleozoic era.

What fossil records do you have from the Precambrian life?
very little, there are stromatolites, domed mates of microscopic algae that are aged as precambrian. No other fossils in the precambrian
What is the Geologic time with the poorest fossil record?
Precambrian
geologic time with poorest fossil record?
Precambrian time.
What is a common fossil beginning with 'T'?
Trilobites are common fossils throughout the Paleozoic.
Any precambrian tine animals and plants that have turned into fossils?
Yes, although the fossil record for the precambrian period is scarce. See related link.
What was the first key hominid trait to appear in the fossil record?
The first key hominid trait to appear in the fossil record is bipedalism, which refers to the ability to walk upright on two feet. This adaptation is characteristic of early hominids and distinguishes them from their primate ancestors.
How would your understanding of earths past change if a scientist discovered a mammal fossil from the paleozoic Era?
Finding a Paleozoic fossil would change our thinking completely, we would have to rethink the entire evolution of animals and the conditions on Earth all the way back to and including the Paleozoic. That is 500 million years of geologic history to rewrite.
Where in the fossil record can you find fossils of the oldest life forms?
The fossils of the oldest life forms can be found in the Precambrian period of the fossil record.
