Browsing: Fossils
Fossils are the preserved remains, traces, or imprints of ancient organisms that lived millions of years ago, offering a direct window into the history of life on Earth. Found in sedimentary rocks, fossils can include bones, shells, leaf imprints, footprints, and even soft tissues under rare conditions. They are key to understanding evolution, extinction events, and how ecosystems have changed over geological time. Paleontologists study fossils to reconstruct ancient environments and trace the lineage of modern species. Ongoing fossil discoveries continue to refine our understanding of life’s diversity and the dynamic processes that have shaped the planet over billions of years.
