Why is the fossil record incomplete? choose all that apply.
not all organisms are fossilized.
not all scientists believe in the fossil record.
not all fossils survive.
not all fossils are found.

Explanation:

The most direct way to determine the age of a species is to observe in the fossil record what was the first occurrence of this species. The biggest problem is that the fossil record is very incomplete, because many times organisms decompose before being fossilized, and many fossils have never been found. In short, we can say that the fossil record is incomplete because not all organisms are fossilized, not all fossils survive and not all fossils are found. Moreover, the fact that one finds fossils of a species from a certain age does not mean that such a species originated at that time in geological history. It may be that records of the species's presence in previous ages have been lost.

the abdomen (less formally called the belly, stomach, tummy or midriff) constitutes the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis, in humans and in other vertebrates. the region occupied by the abdomen is termed the abdominal cavity. the stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. the stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. the pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine.
