Patterns in the fossil record

The fossil record, the fossils found in rock layers all over the world, shows patterns: life on Earth has existed for a very long time, has become more diverse, and many kinds of organisms have gone extinct while others have changed over time. Scientists assume the same natural processes that shape life and rock layers today also shaped them in the past, which lets them use fossils found today as evidence for what happened long ago.
