Which of the following statements are not true about the fossil record
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

A.

Think of it as stacking papers with different drawings on them from different ages. Oldest goes on the bottom, newest goes on the top. The older layer stands as more of a foundation point while newer layers are around where we are now.
