fossil mammals

Fossil mammals are preserved remains or traces of mammals from ancient times, offering insights into their appearance, behavior, and evolution. These fossils include bones, teeth, and sometimes soft tissues, and are typically found in sedimentary rocks. They help scientists understand how mammals have changed over millions of years, including their adaptations to different environments and interactions with other species. Studying fossil mammals reveals the origins of modern mammals, such as humans, whales, and bats, and provides a critical record of Earth's biological history.
