Which one is is the crazy one, that should let you know what it is. it can't be architecture so it must be ______.
The correct answer is "database."
To understand how scientists document and keep track of fossils, they use a database. A database is a structured collection of digital information that allows scientists to organize, store, and retrieve data efficiently. In the case of fossils, a fossil database contains information about each fossil, such as its location, age, species, and other relevant information.
When new fossils are discovered, scientists add them to the database. This helps them keep track of the growing number of fossils and ensures that the information is easily accessible for future research. By documenting and categorizing fossils in a database, scientists can study patterns, make comparisons, and draw conclusions about Earth's history and the evolution of species.
