Scientists have discovered and analyzed a huge number of fossils that represent a wide variety of species. what type of evidence for evolution is provided by the fossil record?

The fossil record supports a "biological" type of evidence.

Explanation:

Fossils- this refers to the remains of prehistoric organism. It provides a trace of a once-living plant, animal or organism.

When it comes to evolution, fossils provide a biological type of evidence. This means that, it shows how organism have greatly changed from the past. When you study fossil records, you can compare it with the animal, plant or human structure nowadays. You can compare them side-by-side. So, you'd get that idea on how prehistoric things lived in the past and how they evolved up to the present day or became extinct.

Most of the fossils can be found on sedimentary rocks. You can also tell their ages according to which layer they belong. It is said that older layers consist of older fossils and they appear at the bottom while younger layers consist of younger fossils and they appear on top.
