When living things die, sometimes they can get buried in mud or sand before they rot away. If this happens, over time the mud or sand can be turned into rock and the hard parts of the living things are also mineralized (turned into rock) but in a way that preserves the structure of the original living thing.
An impression of a living thing preserved in this way is called a fossil and by studying the fossils that are to be found in rocks it is possible to see and understand creatures that lived on earth a very long time ago.
Study of fossils
An Archaeologist
Fossils have layer upon layer of hardened tissue. Therefore they are quite rough in texture where the insides are more malleable. Depending on what the fossil is of some fossils give off a sour aroma. Most of the time animal fossils deteriate at a faster rate than fossils of humans or shells. Fossils are a unique study and I you study them further.
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.
Paleontologists study prehistoric animal and plant life remains found in fossils.
study of fossils and dinosaurs
paileeology. that's when you study fossils.
The study of dinosaur's fossils is called:Paleontologists/Paleontology
Fossils that are found over a wide area.
paleontology
they study fossils
Palaeontologists study fossils and dinosaurs.
People that study artefacts are called archaeologists. However people who study fossils are known as palaeontologists.
you can find its history or study its fossils
Study of fossils
They are called 'paleontologists'
