Answer:

A fossil found in rocks from one time period

Explanation:

An index fossil is an fossil of an organism which lived at only one time during the evolutionary history. The index fossils are useful since they are only obtained from rock of one particular evolutionary time zone.  Restricted presence of index fossils represents the fact that they lived during a relatively brief period of geologic history. These fossils are used for dating and correlating the various time zones of evolutionary history

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

blind spot will not impair your vision

Explanation:

Blind spot may be defined as the point of our eyes where the optic nerve leaves our eye, which creates a "blind" spot as none of the receptor cells are located there.

A blind spot can only be studies in a laboratory because blind spot does not impair our vision. The blind spot falls on nose side of our retina, that means that the objects to our right side falls on the right eye's blind spot and objects to our left may fall on the left eye's blind spot. Thus, the blind spot  normally does not impair our vision, since our eyes are moving and because our one eye catches what the other eye misses.
