While fossils provide an astonishing window into the prehistoric world, they also possess their limitations. From them, scientists can't ascertain the exact coloration, behavior, or vocalizations of extinct creatures. The soft tissues, such as skin and organs, often decay, leaving behind only hard structures like bones or shells. Furthermore, the emotions or social structures of these past creatures remain subjects of speculation. Fossils, though enlightening, can only unveil a fragment of the story.
