Fossil record is hard to interpret because it is thousands to millions of years old. The older the fossil is the harder it is for paleontologists to identify what it is.

Fossils can sometimes be hard or easy depending on the size of the fossil and how old it is. Interpreting fossils takes time and one must be careful not to damage/break anything.
