BLOG #2:WHY IS THE FOSSIL RECORD HARD TO INTERPRET.?

Fossil record is hard to interpret because the animal is small. But also because the hard painstaking sand is covering the fossil. It is very hard to interpret a fossil without breaking it. When interpreting a fossil, the paleontologists have to find all the fossils of the animal. It is sometimes hard and sometimes easier, but doesn't mean it is easy. It is just a bit simple. It is very hard to interpret when it is a small animal because the bones of the fossils are very tiny. But when interpreting a large animal, it takes very long, but is somewhat easy, but it is still hard because they have to make sure not to break any of the fossil when interpreting it.
