No, it doesn't. consider for a moment that about 98% of all life on the planet is extinct. Now consider that the conditions necessary to produce fossils does not exist everywhere. You have a clue to why we do not have a complete, or even a miniscule record of the history of life on Earth.

For what animal is the most complete fossil record available?
horse
What is one reason why the fossil record is incomplete?
The fossil record is incomplete because not all fossils have been discovered. In actuality it is unlikely that all fossils will ever be discovered given the hit and miss nature of fossil discovery which usually occurs through educated guess work. The fossil record will likely never be complete.
What is a component of the fossil record?
dinosaur footprints
How the fossil record indicates a long history of changing life forms.?
The fossil record shows that different species have evolved over time. The fossil record also provides evidence of how a specific organism evolved from earlier species. The fossil record shows that organisms have become more complex over time. It also shows which organisms lived during the same time period, which have a common ancestor, and which have become extinct.
The sum of all the fossils that exist is called the?
The sum of all the fossils that exist is called that fossil record. It includes fossils from all geologic time periods.
Is the fossil record complete?
No, the fossil record is not complete. Not all animals and plants were fossilized during the last 4 billion years of the earths existence.

How are fossil organized in the fossil record?
The fossil record organizes fos- sils by their estimated ages and physical similarities.
How does the fossil record organize fossil?
The fossil record organizes fos- sils by their estimated ages and physical similarities.
The fossil record is not complete because?
The fossil record is not complete because the conditions required for fossilization are rare, and many organisms decay before being preserved. In addition, erosion, tectonic activity, and other geological processes can destroy or bury fossils over time. The fossil record also tends to be biased towards certain types of organisms that are more likely to fossilize.
