A fossil record is a timeline or history that is composed of by fossils. a paleontologist finds fossils or studies fossils and where they came from, what animal they were, etc. The law of superposition says each layer of rock is older than the one after or above it, so the further down into the rock layer you go, the older the layers become. Cast fossils are created by the hollow spaces of a mold that is later filled with mineral matter. When an animal or a larger species dies out. radiometric dating is getting an age for geologic materials or measuring the age of geologic materials. The Law of Uniformitarianism is used to explain the history of past events on Earth because it's the idea that the same physical laws of today have always existed.
