Kaseki Shōshū

Kaseki Shōshū, often referred to as "paleontology," involves the study of fossils and the history of life on Earth. It encompasses the analysis of preserved remains, traces, and imprints of ancient organisms that provide insights into how life evolved over millions of years. By examining these fossils, scientists can learn about the structure, behavior, and environments of prehistoric life forms, which helps us understand biodiversity and the Earth's geological history. This field is vital for uncovering the connections between past and present species, as well as the effects of environmental changes throughout history.
