An investigator finds a seashell fossil in a sedimentary rock layer. The investigator concludes that this organism
lived at that exact location. A second researcher interprets the evidence in a different way and states this organism
lived a long distance away. Which statement BEST explains how this individual organism could have lived
elsewhere as proposed by the second researcher?
O The organism was a member of a species found in many locations.
O The organism evolved over time to survive in a different environment.
O Water currents dragged the organism's remains to their current location before fossilization.
O Predators carried the fossil to new locations as their movement patterns changed.
