How do scientists study dinosaurs?


Open in App
Solution

Scientists study dinosaurs by fossils.

Fossils help scientists in following ways:

  1. Paleontologists are researchers who focus on fossils.
  2. These people investigate fossilized bones, teeth, eggs, and even fossilized excrement to find information about dinosaurs.
  3. The examination of these preserved components sheds light on the life and death processes of these prehistoric animals.

Fossils:

  1. A plant or animal from a previous geologic era that has been preserved in the Earth's crust is referred to as a fossil, sometimes known as an impression, relic, or trace.
  2. The term "fossil record" refers to the collection of information found in fossils found all around the world.
  3. It is the main repository for knowledge regarding the evolution of life on Earth.
