Fossils --

(i) provide a concrete 'documentary' proof of life in the respective periods.

(ii) They provide us a convincing clue of the evolutionary process- how life progressed from simple to complex life forms.

(iii) They also throw light on the climatic conditions of that particular period. We can guess what conditions prevailed in those periods and how the life responded / accommodated to those conditions.

(iv) They act as indicators of sources of fossil fuels- like coal and petroleum.
