Fossil Distribution

Fossil distribution refers to the way fossils are found in different geographic regions and geological layers around the world. By studying where fossils are located and their age, scientists can trace how ancient organisms lived, migrated, and evolved over time. Variations in fossil distribution help reveal past climates, environments, and land formations, showing how continents have shifted and ecosystems changed. This distribution provides key insights into Earth's history, anatomy of extinct species, and the processes that have shaped life over millions of years.
