What were the evidence for evolution in the fossile records?
Fossile record is indirect evidence for macro evolutionary change.
-
What is a fossile?
bio material that has been preserved. mostly when dead animal is quickly coverd by mud or sand. 1,000-forever. bone material is repaced with minerals
-
Soft tissue preservation
- rare times tissue can be presrved in: bogs, tundra and deserts. due to lack of oxygen and water.
- example: bog people of denmark, mummies of egypt and mummies of greenland
