Detailed explanation-1: -Q. Which would indicate that a series of fossils represent the evolution of the horse? All of the fossils were found in the same layers of rocks as horse fossils.
Detailed explanation-2: -Evidence from Fossils The fossil record reveals how horses evolved. The lineage that led to modern horses (Equus) grew taller over time (from the 0.4 m Hyracotherium in early Eocene to the 1.6 m Equus). This lineage also developed longer molar teeth and the degeneration of the outer phalanges on the feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fossils provide important evidence for evolution and the adaptation of plants and animals to their environments. Fossil evidence provides a record of how creatures evolved and how this process can be represented by a ‘tree of life’, showing that all species are related to each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fossils can be compared with one another and to living organisms according to their similarities and differences. By the end of grade 8. Fossils are mineral replacements, preserved remains, or traces of organisms that lived in the past.
