What is fossil evidence?Show answer
Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms from the past. They provide direct physical evidence of organisms that lived long ago and show that life has changed over time. In sedimentary rock, deeper layers (strata) are generally older, so the sequence of fossils through the layers records change over time. Transitional fossils show intermediate features between older and more recent forms.
