A fossil indicates that whales might have started out as small land mammals. This animal was about the size of a wolf and had a diet of meat and fish. While the fossil has the body of a land animal, its head is shaped like a whale with an ear bone that is unique to whales. Which statement is likely true about the fossil? It is not a transitional fossil, but it shows correlation. It is not a transitional fossil, but it shows causation. It is a transitional fossil that shows causation. It is a transitional fossil that shows correlation.arrow_forwardA scientist has a fossil that was found in a layer of rock close to Earth’s surface. He believes that the fossil is around 12,000 years old. Which method would best allow the scientist to confirm the actual age of the fossil? finding another fossil in a deeper layer of rock finding another fossil in the same layer of rock using carbon/nitrogen absolute dating using potassium/argon absolute datingarrow_forward
