The field of study that provides scientists with information about past life on Earth is paleontology. Paleontology is the scientific study of fossils, which are the preserved remains or traces of organisms from the past. Fossils can include things like bones, shells, teeth, and footprints. By analyzing fossils, paleontologists can learn about the diversity of ancient life forms, their physical characteristics, behaviors, and the environments they lived in. This information helps us understand the history and evolution of life on Earth. So, in this case, the answer would be "paleontology".
