Because very specific conditions need to occur for fossils to both form and also survive through to the present day. Most dead animals and plants are not fossilized and many that were must have been subjected to erosion and other destructive processes. Many fossils which have formed and survived just haven't been found.
Cambrian period
Scientists first need to determine the age of the fossils through radiometric dating or other methods. They also need to identify the species to understand its evolutionary relationships. Additionally, studying the geological context in which the fossils were found can provide valuable information for placing them in the ancestral timeline of dogs.
Fossils of the earliest land plants come from the Ordovician period (roughly 450 million years ago).
Scientists first developed the geologic time scale by studying rock layers and index fossils worldwide. With this info. (information if you forget!), scientists placed Earth's rocks in order by the relative age.
Fossils are often found in old quarries or at the foot of sea cliffs because these locations expose layers of rock that are rich in fossils. Over time, erosion and geological processes can expose these ancient layers, making it easier for scientists and collectors to discover fossils embedded within them.

The giraffe is the tallest of all living animals; however, scientists are unable to explain the origins of its long neck. (sorry, the first sentence was awful)
Cambrian Period Actually the correct answer to this question is the "Pennsylvanian Period".
The methods the geologists used when they first developed the geologic time scale. Were studying rock layers and index fossils worldwide. By Patrick
