Answer:

The above statement is true.

Explanation:

The shells of aragonite are affected by various ongoing earth dynamic processes, such as physical and chemical weathering and erosion of the rock layers that contain these fossils, chemical reactions between fossils and acid water dissolving the materials of the shells.

The older Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks have undergone significant changes with increasing time due to the effects of events such as tectonism, volcanism, erosion and so on. So the fossils present in these rocks were affected and were altered. But the rocks of the Cenozoic era are of recent age, about 65-60 million years old. During this era,<u> massive deposition of sediments has taken place throughout the globe which provides a suitable condition for the preservation of fossils like aragonite shells</u>. So these fossils found in these deposits are not much altered.

Why are groups of small cells better then one large cell at moving material in and out
Andrej [43]
Because these smaller cells can access and pass through the membranes of the other cell membranes and permeable coverings easily and voluntarily unlike larger cells. It is also for efficient for these smaller and miniscule cells to penetrate and travel, delivering and transporting goods and materials such as nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body without consuming enough energy and conserving lesser space.
For simple reasons, they are faster, more efficient and consumes little space, and most especially depletes lesser energy.
