For example, tardigrades do their drying out trick to survive unfavorable conditions, but other microbes just keep on living normally in those conditions, and the ones that don't have other strategies like forming spores.

    sponges, coral, and plants of prehistoric times have to be one of the most under looked parts of the worlds before use. sure, there not as entertaining as moving organisms but they do make up a major part of their environments and are important for us to understand what the past of our planet looked like.

    So, when there's a mass extinction event do we find a corresponding layer/group of layers of strata with significantly higher fossil counts/densities than average or does it not work that way?
