FOSSIL

Fossil record is hard to interpret because the animal is small and also because the hard painstaking sand is covering the fossil. A broken fossil is more difficult to interpret.  When interpreting a fossil, the paleontologists must be able to find all of the fossil that way they can find out what it is. Sometimes it hard to interpret the fossil and other times it is easy because there is the complete fossil .  It hard to interpret the fossil when it is broken and when pieces are missing. It is easy to interpret the fossil when its big and all the pieces are there and not broken.  To interpret a fossil always depends on what size it is and if it is in good condition or broken.
