Why are casts a fossils sometimes displayed in museums instead of the real fossils themselves?
To protect the actual fossils from theft or damage.
Answer:
For real (especially large) fossils the weight is too much to allow the bones to be strung together in an articulated fashion. Theu are after all made of stone. As consequence lighter duplicates, cast from the originals, are used.
In addition, although we think we know all the answers we can extract from fossils new techniques may allow more information to be recovered. Mounting the bones would require drilling out and loss of valuable information

How fossil tell the age of earth?
Fossils can only provide an estimation of the age of the formation surrounding it. One scientific method of dating a fossil involves analysing the isotopes surrounding it. Another method involves looking at the layers of rock in which it is embedded.
How are fossils used to oppose the theory of evolution?
Fossils are not used to oppose the theory of evolution. They acutually support it in every way. So far not one fossil has been found that is not exactly where you would expect it to be if evolution were true. As we dig deeper we go further back in time and see by piecing fossils together how organisms evolved over time. Although we don't need fossils to support the fact that evolution is happening, it's a nice bonus to have in support of the theory.
Why is it stones instead of pounds in Europe?
It is not . Europe is metric. In the UK 14 pounds is still sometimes called 1 stone.
Why can't fossils form in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
because metamorphic rock is formed through a combination of extremely high heat and pressure which would destroy any fossils in it and igneous rock is formed through extremely high heats which would also most likely destroy fossils.
What type of artifact and fossils does an archaeology use?
An archaeologist does not typically examine fossils. They study human cultures of the past, and human beings have not really been around for long enough to start turning into fossils-- that can take millions of years! Instead, they focus on unearthing remains of ancient peoples and cultures. As for the artifacts, they can literally be anything an ancient person used, including tools, pottery, jewelry, and even garbage. It's also important to study the remains of those people. Even a few bones can tell modern archaeologists about an ancient civilization!

What do the fossilized tracks tell you about reptiles that once lived in the canyon?
Well, the tracks are examples of trace fossils. Trace fossils are not fossils in the traditional sense. Instead, they are fossils of something other than the animal or plant's form, like a animal track or burrow, that tells us an animal has been there.

How is carbon-14 dating used to determine the age of dinosaur fossils?
Carbon-14 dating is not used to determine the age of dinosaur fossils. Instead, scientists use other methods like radiometric dating, such as uranium-lead dating or potassium-argon dating, to estimate the age of dinosaur fossils. These methods rely on the decay of radioactive isotopes in the fossils to calculate their age.
