i'm a little stuck on this one...
Ms.Sue??
We have no way of knowing what fossil record is shown nor about the Table.
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the information provided in the fossil record between 55.85 to 55.75 million years ago. Here's how you can approach this problem:
1. Start by examining the fossil record: Look for any clues or evidence in the fossil record that indicate changes in the Bighorn Basin environment during the given time period.
2. Look for changes in plant life: Check if there is any record of changes in the abundance or diversity of plant fossils during this time. Consider whether there is an increase or decrease in plant life in the basin.
3. Examine climate indicators: Evaluate if there are any climate-related indicators in the fossil record. Look for evidence of changes in temperature, precipitation, or any other climate factors.
Based on this information, you should be able to deduce the correct answer.
