Fossils and Evolution On Study Island
A team of scientists are studying three different layers of sedimentary rock to learn about a particular reptile species. In the layer of rock that is closest to the Earth's surface, the reptiles' teeth fossils are found to be short and straight. In the layer below, the reptiles' teeth fossils are found to be long and straight. In the layer below that, the reptiles' teeth fossils are found to be long and curved.
