Blog # 2 Why is fossil record hard to interpret?

i think that fossil records are hard to interpret because fossil could be very fragile.... and not only that but it could also be damaged through out the years which could make it harder for us to interpret them. It really depends it what kind of condition that the fossils are in. When recording the fossils.... it could get mixed up easily... and measurements can mess up the records. Most fossils look very similar to each other and for some regular people you might that think it is the exact one from before so they will just say its from the same time as the other fossils. But in reality it could have slight differences in them so ... they have to be really careful when trying to record these fossils.... cause any wrong move can mess up the fossil records.
