Fossils that appear all over the world in certain rock layers are what?
Fossils that appear all over the world in particular rock layers are called index fossils. These fossils are used by scientists to correlate and date rock layers in different locations, providing insights into the Earth's geological history and past environments.
What types of information do fossils provide scientists?
Fossils have provided all information and sourced all theories that are to do with dinosaurs. Our general view, knowledge of their behaviour and knowledge of what the eat have came from fossils such as dinosaur bones or even dinosaur poo.
What is the usage of the geological time scale?
The use of it is so they can date all of the fossils and stuff for scientists to study and see what it was like in the past.
How do Scientists reconstruct geologic history?
Paleontologists study fossils, archeologists study past human life, climatologists can study past climates, geologists can study various things about Earth's past - the point being that a number of different scientists may study fossils in their disciplines.
Why do some scientists think that the fossils found on the martian meteorite aren't fossils at all?
All fossils are not the actual substance of the living creature but merely minerals that have collected in the hole the living creature left behind when its substance rotted away. Now when you have a 'fossil' in the shape of a complex skeleton its pretty easy to say that it came from a once living thing. But when you have a linear collection of crystals it isn't certain that it came from a once living thing or merely from a purely geological process. Also the martial 'fossil' is ten times smaller than the smallest fossil found on earth - a suspicious incongruity.
Why do scienctists study fossils?
Well, not all scientists study fossils but some who participate in the art paleontology do. Anyway, here's the answer to your question: scientists study fossils to learn about the bone's past and who they might've belonged to to put it in layman's terms (simplified terms)
Why will scientists never know about all the species on earth?
Most organisms never became fossils
How do fossils help scientist?
Fossils help scientists by leaving a record for scientists to use. Fossils can help show a scientist which type of animal was living in an area during a certain time. This gives scientists a better idea of what that area was like hundreds of millions of years ago all the way through today.

Fossils that appear all over the world in particular rock layers are called index fossils. These fossils are used by scientists to correlate and date rock layers in different locations, providing insights into the Earth's geological history and past environments.
What do we call the scientist who studies all types of fossils?
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.
What was the fattest dinosaur?
How would scientists know if all the fat are not in their fossils because they could have been eaten, etc.

How do scientists put back together broken fossils?
all they do is make that shape out of a exsra bone and glue it back on like nothing happened.
How did scientists find out about dinosaurs?
scientist found out about the bones and named them by what they look like.
How data collected?
Scientists collect data, in all sorts of ways using computer models math observing data, it all depends what kind of scientist.
How do Scientists reconstruct geologic history?
Paleontologists study fossils, archeologists study past human life, climatologists can study past climates, geologists can study various things about Earth's past - the point being that a number of different scientists may study fossils in their disciplines.
