Fossil Records
Fossil records are the preserved remains, impressions, or traces of ancient organisms found in rocks and sediments. They provide evidence of life that existed millions of years ago, helping scientists understand how species have evolved and changed over time. By studying fossils, researchers can learn about extinct animals and plants, how they lived, and how different species are related. The fossil record is an important tool for reconstructing Earth’s history and the development of life on our planet.
