Question

1. how can rapid sedimentation events contribute to the quality and quantity of fossils found?

Explanation:

Rapid sedimentation quickly buries organisms. This reduces decay from oxygen and scavengers. More organisms are preserved (quantity). Fine - grained sediments in rapid sedimentation can preserve details (quality).

Answer:

Rapid sedimentation contributes to fossil quality (by preserving details with fine - grained sediments) and quantity (by quickly burying organisms, reducing decay and scavenging).
