Strictly speaking these are two differing types of scientists.
Petrologists study rocks and paleontologists study fossils. However both these disciplines are covered in the broader training of a geologist.
A palynologist is a scientist who studies pollen and spores found in sediments and rocks. They use these microscopic plant particles to understand past environments, climates, and vegetation. Palynologists play a crucial role in fields like paleobotany, archaeology, and geology.
A geologist studies rocks and what the earth is made of. A petrologist is someone who looks at rocks directly.
Preserved remains of a living thing are called fossils. Fossils can be bones, shells, imprints, or traces of ancient organisms that have been preserved in rocks. They provide valuable information about past life forms and environments.
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rocks. This is because these rocks form from layers of sand, dirt, and debris that accumulate over time and can preserve the remains of plants and animals. Sedimentary rocks often have distinct layers that can hold fossils within them.
Sedimentary rocks show fossils, because of pre-existing life forms. They also show ripple marks due to weathering and erosion...
A geologist
A person who studies rocks and fossils is called an archeologist. No, the study of fossils is called paleontology and the study of rocks is called geology, so a person studies fossils is called a paleontologist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archeology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology
A scientist who digs for fossils is called a paleontologist. They study ancient life forms and the history of life on Earth by examining fossils found in rocks.
A scientist who studies rocks and the forces that have shaped the earth is called a geologist. They often start as a kid fascinated by rocks who is left to wonder "how did this get here?"
That is called a GEOLOGIST.

A rock collector is generally referred to as a rockhound.A person who studies the science behind rocks is called a petrologist.
A geologist who specializes in the study of the history of the Earth and its life through the analysis of rocks and fossils is called a paleontologist. They examine the remains of past geological eras to understand the evolution of life on our planet.
A geologist studies the Earth's physical structure, substances, history, and processes. They analyze rocks, minerals, and fossils to understand the Earth's composition and formation. Geologists also study natural phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes.

a geologist studies rocks, but volcanologists study volcanic rocks
