The diagram here provides information on when the fossils of certain organisms are found in the fossil record. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the data in this diagram?

Trilobites and dinosaurs did not live at the same time

Jellyfish and trilobites never completed for resources.

Most mammals are in competition with birds for resources.

Mammals did not appear until after the dinosaurs went extinct.

The fossil remains of organisms with skeletons are not found in the lowest layers of rock discovered. How is the lack of fossilized skeletons in the lowest rock layers best explained?

Organisms with skeletons did not evolve until after these rock layers formed.

The fossils of organisms with skeletons are only found in the oldest rocks.

Fossil skeletons are usually crushed if other rock layers are above the ones they are in.

Organisms with skeletons live only at the highest altitudes, which is where they turn into fossils

The illustration shows rock layers from three different locations and fossils the rock layers contain. The fossils are all trilobites, ancient organisms that were different over time. What conclusions can be drawn from the information in the illustrations?

The trilobite Asaphidae appeared most recently of those shown here.

The trilobite Cyclopygidae appeared most recently of those shown here.

The trilobite Ceratopigidae appeared before all the others.

The trilobite Remopleiridae is the oldest of all the trilobites.
