Question

What is not an accurate statement about the fossil record?

A.The fossil record represents less than one percent of all of the species that ever lived.

B.It is rare for the remains of a soft-bodied organism to become a fossil.

C.Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock.

D.Land organisms are more likely to fossilize than aquatic organisms.

Answer 1

I think it's B because it is rare to find one

Answer 2

The answer is D. Aquatic organisms are much more likely to fossilize than land organism. This is mostly due to the abundance of oxygen at the earths surface. Oxygen is the primary reason that organism decay and when organisms decay (and get scavenged) they will not make it into the fossil record.
