Fossils reveal what organisms lived before us.

Scientists can learn from a fossil of animal by its age, diet, and physical characteristics, depending on the condition of the fossil. For example, scientists would not be able to tell of a hominid was a new species or not if a few bones were missing, because of the fact that they could determine different or similar traits than other species of hominid.
Dating fossils and artifacts are easy. Scientist can look and tell how old the fossils by how many layers is under it.
Index fossils can tell scientists if an animal or plant was alive in a certain period of time. They may also tell scientists what time period a certain rock layer formed.
How do archaeologists date fossils ? archaeologist can date fossills by seeingf how deep down it is in the ground [ checking how many layers ] , scientists can use radio-active dating, and compare a fossil that they know the exact date that it was from compare the looks and tell by that
I think that fossils tell scientists what the animal was doing, what it was eating, and, how it moves.
It's hard to tell but but I say they do

Paleontology is scientists working with fossils. they dig up the fossils and research them. Fossils are making some scientists believe that evolution is true. Some fossils look very similar and it takes a trained eye to tell the difference between them. Sometimes when a paleontologist finds a fossil they can tell the approximiate size, weight and details if the creature would be alive.
I'm thinking it's index fossils because index fossils tell when or how old the layer it was found in. If that's what your asking.
It would tell anyone that the rocks which contain the fossils were marine sediments deposited in a sea or ocean below sea level.
Scientists who study fossils are known as paleontologists.Scientists who study fossils are known as paleontologists. A paleontologist who studies dinosaurs may be a vertebrate paleontologist or a macro paleontologist.
because they tell about what was living before us and the way the land formed
Most of what scientists know about extinct species is based on the study of bones and fossils. Scientists have studied many dinosaur bones to determine what they ate and how they lived. Fossils tell what the land was like at a given time in history.
Well they tell about the past... Anyway what grade are you studying this? Is this a homework assignment? Are you cheating on something?
