Semester 2 : Blog # 2


The reason why the fossil record is hard to interpret is because since there are some small species that once lived on Earth and has been preserved and it would be difficult to observe and interpret on what it is. It might be either a part of a full fossil or sometimes it would be hard when the fossil is damaged and you couldn't find out what kind of species lay in those rocks. Also you have to dust it off in order to see the species clearly, so there might be dust that is hard to remove. Also it's hard to interpret the fossil when the species doesn't even have a skeleton. So basically if the fossil is either damage or the species have no skeleton, then it would be very difficult to interpret it.
