Fossils are important to the humans because they help us learn about animals that are extinct (like dinosours). They can also help us with many clues as to how dinosours became extinct, and what they looked like.
Index fossils are very important to geologists because they identify geological time periods. Index fossils are found within a specific layer of rock- So when one finds the age of the rock layer, that is also the age of the index fossil.
There are so many well preserved fossils because there are so many fossils, some will be well preserved. In certain locations at certain times the conditions will be right for preserving living tissues.
it gives information about the past which to scientists is important to know
As I konow they lived in Patagonia, Argentina, so probbably fossils were found there.
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
because that is their job
Archaeologists use fossils to scan the way of living of the past people.
so you can get oil and find out how did ancient people lived

the answer is elemetary
Fossils aren't but the life that made them is.
they are cool

In simplest terms, fossils show what living things were like long ago.
No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, not igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can preserve fossils, while igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, where fossils are usually destroyed.
