a record that shows how fossils have changed over time
The fossil record shows that mammals and the great dinosaurs shared the same times. It also shows that mammals made a major surge in population when the dinosaurs died out.
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!
Nevada's state fossil is ichthyosaur
yes, a written record of all proceedings is kept for the house of representatives and the senate
horse
Yes
because earthquakes have destroyed everything

No, the fossil record is not complete. Not all animals and plants were fossilized during the last 4 billion years of the earths existence.
Fossil records are not complete. By some estimates, less than 1% of organisms that have lived appear in the fossil record.
The answer is the fossil record :D
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.

The fossil record organizes fos- sils by their estimated ages and physical similarities.

The fossil record is not complete because the conditions required for fossilization are rare, and many organisms decay before being preserved. In addition, erosion, tectonic activity, and other geological processes can destroy or bury fossils over time. The fossil record also tends to be biased towards certain types of organisms that are more likely to fossilize.
