James Sadler How do paleontologists measure the completeness of the fossil record?
I'm reading "The Biological Explosion at the Precambrian-Cambrian Boundary" by James W Valentine and Stanley M. Awramik. On page 311 they discuss how the completeness of the fossil record is measured. They say that:
"The expected completeness of this record can be estimated from average sediment accumulation rates determined from modern shallow marine envirnments and parts of the rock record that have been reliably dated (Sadler 1981). To estimate the probability that a 1-my interval leaves a record in the rock accumulated at a single locality over 30my, divide the average rate determined for 30-my intervals by the average rate determined for 1-my intervals. For carbonate rocks this yields an estimate of 0.33..."
Call me thick-headed, but why isn't the sedimentation rate for 1-my intervals one-thirtieth of that for 30-my intervals? How can it be anything else?
EDIT:
To ktdykes: Uh, no. One thirtieth is 0.033, not 0.3. But thanks for playing.
The example you give is missing the actual average rates calculated for the intervals.
In this particular example, they give the time coverage of each segment of the rock column (i.e. 30 million years and 1 million year segments), however they don't actually give the rates of accumulation that they determined for these segments.
Whatever those rates are apparently comes out to an average over 30 million years of 0.33, but since they don't actually give those accumulation rates, the example is very confusing.
The numbers representing the chronological sequences don't actually figure into the calculation of the accumulation rate directly. The fact that these particular numbers are similar to their given accumulation rate, but two orders of magnitude off just make things more confusing.
In this particular case, it's possible that the geological column has an average of 10 fossils for every thirty million year segment of the column. This comes out to the average probability of a single 1 million year segment having a fossil being 0.33.
Basically, it's not a very well written explanation.
The Big Ben Clock Tower has been a beloved symbol of Britain ever since the clock was installed in 1859. Known throughout the world as the sound of BBC Radio, the bell chimed reliably throughout the Blitz despite heavy bombing. Now the famous tower and your favorite tea come together perfectly in this delightful teapot made by James Sadler . James Sadler built a factory in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire in 1882 and gained a reputation for making fine earthenware teapots. A James Sadler teapot became synonymous with quality and good taste and is the United Kingdom's leading brand in the collectable teapot market. Highlighted with hand-painted, 22-carat gold, the teapot measures 8" X 7" X 4" and holds 2-1/2 six-ounce cups of your favorite brew. Hand wash.

Charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 189799. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic PlaceNames Committee (UKAPC) in 1960 after James Sadler (17511828), Oxford confectioner, the first English aeronaut, who ascended in a montgolfier balloon on October 4, 1784. Wilhelmina Bay is a bay 15 miles wide between Reclus Peninsula and Cape Anna along the west coast of Graham Land. Discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 189799, under Adrien de Gerlache, and named for Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rahni Sadler (born 1972) is an Australian reporter and television journalist. She is sister of Matthew Sadlerwho is a TV and radio presenter and journalist for the ABC. Sadler attended Santa Sabina College in the Sydney suburb of Strathfield, a day school for girls K12. She completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at Sydney University, participating in the Honours program in the Political Science (Government) Department. Sadler had an early inquisitive mind for news and politics and is reported as saying the following with references to the sacking of the 1975 Whitlam government.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Sadler 25 is a 7.42 meter (24 ft 4in) fiberglass sailing yacht, designed in 1974 by David Sadler of Great Britain as an evolution of his earlier Contessa 26 which was in turn an evolution of the Nordic Folkboat. Although both the Folkboat and the Contessa 25 had relatively narrow long keel hulls, Sadlers new design utilised a wider hull to give more form stability and the (then) new finkeel together with a skegmounted rudder. Built between 1974 and 1981, the Sadler 25 was normally rigged as a masthead sloop, and was offered with the option of deep or shallow fin keels, twin bilge keels or a centre plate. In its deepfin configuration, the Sadler 25 was a successful cruiserracer which quickly became popular in yacht clubs throughout the U.K, and had many successes in longer events such as the Round Britain and Singlehanded TransAtlantic races Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
