Why do you think people keep looking for dinosaur fossils?
People keep looking for dinosaur fossils because they provide important insights into Earth's history, evolution, and the prehistoric world. Studying dinosaur fossils helps scientists understand how these creatures lived, evolved, and interacted with their environment, leading to advancements in paleontology and our understanding of the natural world.
What was the preserved remains of ancient organisms called?
The preserved remains of animals of evidence of their existence are Fossils Fosssils that provide evidence about the past are called trace fossils.
How do scientist find fossils?
scientists use carbon dating to tell how old fossils are. They can also tell how old it is by using relative dating (for example): if a fossil is found deeper in the ground than another fossil, it is older.
How do you see a sedimentary rocks age by looking at the fossils?
Find out what era the Fossil was from and then you can put a relative date on the sedimentary rock, assuming that the fossil was preserved in the sedimentary rock when it had died. It would not be the actual age because you need to date the radioactive isotopes for that.
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.
In addition to fossils how can scientists learn about an organisms ancestor?
Aside from fossils we can learn about organisms and how they have changed over the years by looking at the plants and animals we have today.
Which word means the remains or imprints of once-living organisms found in layers or rock?
The word you are looking for is "fossil." Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past, typically found in sedimentary rock layers. These remains provide valuable information about the history of life on Earth and can help scientists understand evolutionary processes.

Which cycles can be studied by looking at fossils?
erosion

Why arent there any more fossils?
There are fossils left, ones are constantly forming. Perhaps you aren't looking in the right places
What sedimentary rock often has fossils?
Paleontologists are looking for fossils in sedimentary rock.
Why do we think birds Evolved from crocodiles and alligators?
They didn't but they do share a common ancestor. Looking at fossils, scientists have determined that bird evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs. Both dinosaurs and crocodiles stem from a group of reptiles called archosaurs.
What can a scientist infer by looking at fossils footprints?
what type of dinosaur it is and its weight
How do scientist find fossils?

Do scientists die looking at sharks?
because they like eating scientists they like their legs <--------&
Are ants prehistoric creatures because they've been around for only about 500 years?
True
