Question

Discuss the rather restricted set of circumstances under which a large mammal, such as an early hominid, could first become fossilized and then be discovered by researchers

Answer 1

Answer:The remains of the vast majority of organisms that die are eaten by scavengers or decompose beyond recognition before they can be preserved. The conditions under which fossils can successfully form are unusual, and the odds that a fossil will then be exposed at the surface again, and discovered, are smaller still.

The fossil records suffer from 3 types of bias: temporal bias, geographic bias and taxonomic bias. Fossil of certain geologic time may be easier to find as compared to those or other era, such as newer fossils are easier to find than older ones. Plate tectonics causes loss or displacement of fossils.
