Answer:

The statement that is most correct about what the fossil record looks like in this location is that there has been extensive sedimentation, carving of plateaus, stream erosion, and vulcanism in the region.

Explanation:

  • The fossils obtained of rocks formed as far back as in the Paleozoic era have been found at various canyons in the United States.  These canyons are identical to the one shown in the picture.
  • It is evident from the study of these fossils that they have been subjected to various geological processes and natural carving and cutting, stream erosion, etc.
