Person who studies fossils?

Answer 1

Paleontologists do this... the most relevant answer and field is paleontology but many fields study relevant fossil material.

Some studies are sub-categorical to Paleontology. Taphonomy is the study of fossil preservation. Paleoecology is concerned particularly with the ecological interactivity in ancient environments. Paleogeography, or geographersconcerned with the theory of tectonics relied upon fossil evidence for mapping the previous orientation of the world's continents. Geologists makes use of fossils by comparison as fossils are generally geological in nature. Biologists benefit from better understanding the evolutionary derivation of characters as does medicine. Astrobiology benefits in it's search for life by better understanding the development and history of our singular example here on Earth. Zoologists such as ornithologistsbenefit a great deal by understanding the evolutionary relationships between the organisms they study. Even energy companies are interested in and study fossils since fossil fuels are, in fact, fossils- the chemical remains of ancient life. There are many other fields. Even philosophybenefits from the study, such as with ethicsderived in part by a better understanding of Biology and Life.

In short, paleontology and the study of ancient Life is not a valueless or narrow science and affects profoundly many aspects of science, economics, and philosophy in the modern world. It is a worthwhile investment and endeavor.
