Why did scientists use trilobites as index fossils?
Scientists used trilobites as index fossils because they were abundant, had a wide distribution, and had a relatively short existence in the fossil record. This made them useful for correlating rock layers from different locations and determining the relative ages of the rocks.
What are some fossils of organisms in some meteorites?
No such thing has ever been found to exist. No fossils have been proven to have been found in meteorites. Some scientists claim that they have found tiny fossils in meteorites from Mars but they can not prove the formations in the rocks aren't naturally occurring.

Why are index fossils more useful then other fossils to paleontologist?
Index fossils are useful to paleontologists because they are easily recognizable, widespread, and existed for a relatively short period of time. This allows scientists to date the rock layers in which they are found, helping to establish the relative ages of different strata. Additionally, index fossils help correlate rock layers from different locations, aiding in the reconstruction of Earth's history.

How is fossils useful?
they are useful for alot of things like petrol
Why are sedimentary rocks useful to scientists'?
Mainly because the fossils of plants and animals preserved in the sediment layers allow dating of events that happened before humans existed.
What makes sedimentary rocks especially useful to scientists and historians?
Sedimentary rock are made of materials that could show what lived where. Also they are the only rock to hold fossils.
