Answer:

(A) fossil is the most useful.

It serves as an index fossil. The seashell is a great index fossil because it only appears in the sandstone layer in multiple locations in the same layer of time.

Explanation:

Index fossils are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods. Index fossils must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends.

Answer:

that's not a good idea, most teachers search the web to check for plagiarism, and if they did they would see this question. but I'd say to go over the main facts, such as their diet, their ecosystem, and animals that prey on them. then add a few facts as space fillers if you need to.

What is the importance of the amniotic egg?
Alja [10]

Answer: The amniotic egg was an evolutionary invention that allowed the first reptiles to colonize dry land more than 300 million years ago. Fishes and amphibians must lay their eggs in water and therefore cannot live far from water. But thanks to the amniotic egg, reptiles can lay their eggs nearly anywhere on dry land.
