Paleontology is scientists working with fossils. they dig up the fossils and research them. Fossils are making some scientists believe that evolution is true. Some fossils look very similar and it takes a trained eye to tell the difference between them. Sometimes when a paleontologist finds a fossil they can tell the approximiate size, weight and details if the creature would be alive.
