    The Fossil Record

    The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. The fossil record includes only fossils that have been discovered. As a result, it is biased toward long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms preserved in sedimentary rock. Nevertheless, these fossils provide valuable information about an organism’s physical form, behavior, and age. Along with body fossils, trace...
