Diagram 1 shows the fossilized remains of the lower portion of a camel's leg. Each subsequent diagram shows the same portion of a camel's leg, but the diagrams are from progressively later time periods.
Diagram 4 shows the most recent fossil.
These diagrams demonstrate

the process of fossilization and how the remains of an organism can become preserved over time. The changes in the fossilized leg bones from diagram 1 to diagram 4 show the effects of mineralization and compression, as well as any potential damage or erosion that occurred over time. By comparing the different diagrams, scientists can track the changes in the fossil and gain a better understanding of the evolutionary history of the camel species.
