Neanderthals never lived in Africa. They only lived in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
I'm thinking it's index fossils because index fossils tell when or how old the layer it was found in. If that's what your asking.
fossils found in tar
They are generally called palaeontologists.

Just think about this : Imagine scientists studying plants and animals of the past WITHOUT fossils. The slightest clue found on fossils leads scientists towards a conclusion that would be impossible to get without a mineralized remains of a dead organism, that we call fossils. The most important factor is the visualization of that animal or plant's shape. The foot's shape, number of bones, of a fossiled animal may give to scientists a clue on how that extinct animal could run away from predators and so on. The slightest evidence is important to reach on a conclusion when a fossil is being studied, which would be impossible without them. In other words, fossils are the linkage with the pass
fossils are found by scientists. some are even found in deserts
scientists found the fossils of triceratops
They've found PLENTY.

The climate at the time the fossile was preserved. :)
No such thing has ever been found to exist. No fossils have been proven to have been found in meteorites. Some scientists claim that they have found tiny fossils in meteorites from Mars but they can not prove the formations in the rocks aren't naturally occurring.

No. Scientists have found fossils that have proven that tyrannousorus rexes did not have horns. this is because there were no holes in the skull for them.
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
Fossils help scientists by leaving a record for scientists to use. Fossils can help show a scientist which type of animal was living in an area during a certain time. This gives scientists a better idea of what that area was like hundreds of millions of years ago all the way through today.
Fossils in rock layers can be used for relative dating, where older fossils are found in lower layers and younger fossils in higher layers. By comparing the fossils in different layers to known fossil sequences, scientists can estimate the age of the rocks. Fossils provide a timeline of life on Earth and can help determine the relative ages of rock layers.
Scientists found out about Pangaea through the study of fossils, rocks, and other geological evidence. They observed that certain species were found in continents that are now separated by oceans, and that the coastlines of continents seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces. This led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which explained how the continents have moved over time.
