Fossils play a major role in the understanding of our current and past history of biota worldwide. From studying fossils, an placing them in chronological order, we are able to better determine what kind of living situations caused certain adaptations to occur within a certain species which result in the evolved fauna we have today, or the extinct animals we can study. A close study of Palaeontology can give us a much greater understanding as physical appearance and internal structure of the animal.
