What kind of information can scientists learn from fossils?
Fossils that include bones can indicate the overall size of an animal, and how its structure was adapted for the environment.

Fossils can also indicate how similar organisms changed in geographic distribution as later species took the place of earlier ones.

How do scientists discover information about dinosaurs?

They also learn about what the climate, plant life, and other animals it interacted with were like. Fossils such as those of eggs, nests, and footprints can leave clues as to a dinosaur's social behavior.
