fossil research

Fossil research involves the study of preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, which provide insights into the history of life on Earth. Scientists excavate fossils from rocks, analyze their age using techniques like radiometric dating, and examine their physical features to learn about past environments and evolutionary changes. This research helps reconstruct ecosystems, understand extinction events, and trace the development of species over millions of years. Through fossil research, we gain knowledge about how life has adapted over time and how current organisms relate to their ancient relatives.
