What is the study of fossils and extinct organisms called?
The study of fossils and extinct organisms is called paleontology. It involves the identification, classification, and interpretation of fossils to understand the history of life on Earth.
Why are the nonhuman fossils also important to paleontologists and biologists?
Because they show how other organisms evolved or became extinct.
What kingdom is fossils?
Fossils belong to the kingdom Animalia, which includes all animals both living and extinct. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past.
What has happened to the majority of species whose fossils are found in rock?
The majority of species whose fossils are found in rocks are extinct. These species lived in the past but no longer exist today. Fossilization occurs when the remains of organisms are preserved in sedimentary rock over millions of years.
Do fossils relate to living organisms?
No. Fossils are chemicals like stone that have replaced organisms after they die.

Which group of organisms some of which were preserved as fossils in early Paleozoic rocks are still in existence today?

What are remaiins or traces of organisms preserved in rock called?
fossils
What do evolutionists believe fossils prove?
Fossils show that the organisms that were around a long time ago were not the same ones that are around now, indicate that life changes over time.
What are traces or remains of organisms that lived in the past?
Fossils are proof of organisms that lived long ago
