Question

What is paleontological evidence?

Answer 1

Paleontological Evidence:

1. Fossils are the geological remnants and scientific traces of species exhumed from the soil in the past.
2. Individual fossil studies are beneficial because fossils or skeletons carry information about an organism's life and habitat.
3. The presence of rings on the surface of an oyster, which signifies the number of years it has lived, is an example of paleontological evidence.
4. Paleontologists can deduce the environment and conditions in which this oyster grew from its shell.
5. Paleontology is the study of the evolution of life on Earth using fossils as evidence.
6. Plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single-celled organisms that have been replaced by rock material or impressions of species preserved in rock are known as fossils.
