Excerpt from ancient evidence
clark benson
through the efforts of paleontologists, or researchers who look for
evidence of ancient plants and animals, millions of fossils have been
discovered across the globe. simply defined, fossils are the remains of a
living thing and are usually encased in stone. they include the remains
from prehistoric living things, ranging from woolly mammoths, to
prehistoric fish, to dinosaurs. it can take thousands, if not millions of
years for a fossil to form. this is why, even today, so many fossils remain
and allow us to find evidence of animals that roamed the earth even
before humans came into the picture
es -
fossils teach people things they did not know about life long ago because
a)
scientists are not able to track the age of fossils today!
humans could not record information about life in those times
animals today will not be able to leave fossils behind in the future
dj
fossils no longer exist because dinosaurs no longer live on the planet
