Fossil Assemblages

Fossil assemblages are groups of different fossils found together in a particular layer of sediment or rock. These collections of fossils provide scientists with valuable clues about the environment and conditions that existed when those organisms lived. By studying fossil assemblages, researchers can understand the Earth's history, including changes in climate, ecosystems, and the evolution of life over geological time. Each assemblage reflects a snapshot of a past community, helping to piece together the puzzle of our planet's biological and environmental evolution.
