Answer:

the fossil record is an incomplete "map" of what has lived on earth. it is incomplete because not all organisms have hard remains like bone, that can be fossilized. it is a map because you can figure out when the organism lived, what fossils are older, using relative dating or radioactive dating. the fossil record shows, for example, when the dinosaurs lived, and/or went extinct, and also find out when insects first lived on earth! the fossil record is very important when trying to find when a fossil could have existed.
