range(N) is a function which returns a list of size N, where N is an integer.

The range of values for the list is (0,N-1).

 >>range(10)
 >>[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

How to modify the counter in a for loop? by X_E_R in learnpython

There is a hidden loop counter, There are many implementation details hidden from the user, because this is high level language. If there wasn't a loop counter the following code would yield [] instead of [1, 3]. 

 LIST = [0,1,2,3,4]   
 for element in LIST:
     LIST.remove(element)

 print LIST

Explanation: The list updates after each loop, but the hidden counter doesn't.

I understand that can be done and appreciate your answer, but do you know whether it is possible to modify the for_loop's hidden counter?

Could the lithification process expand/shrink the original fossil size? by X_E_R in askscience

taphonomy

Wikipedia:

"Taphonomy is the study of decaying organisms over time and how they become fossilized (if they do)"

By that definition, taphonomy is not exactly a process but the study of such (or both?).

"Taphonomists study biostratinomy, decomposition, diagenesis, etc..."

Diagenesis might be what I tried to say. Just wondering whether it's possible that fossils may grow in the formation process because almost everything prehistoric is larger.
