Fossils are used to study organisms that once lived (1 point). Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms found in rocks. By examining fossils, scientists can learn about the characteristics, behaviors, and lifestyles of these organisms that existed millions of years ago. They provide valuable insights into our planet's past and help us understand the evolution of life on Earth. To study fossils, scientists typically excavate and collect them from various geological formations, such as sedimentary rocks, where fossils are most commonly found. These fossils are then analyzed using various scientific techniques, including radiometric dating, paleontology, and comparative anatomy, to piece together the story of ancient life forms.
