Fossil
What is Fossil?
Fossils are the naturally preserved remains of ancient life most often found where sedimentary rocks are exposed. They enable us to understand the history of life on Earth. Fossils help scientists record evolutionary changes to the species observed, the age of the area in which they were found, and the past climate and environment of the site.
Uses & Applications
Fossils can be used for jewelry or decoration, depending on their size. Jewelers typically concentrate on the smaller ones, preferring not to ruin the original. The ancient rocks also make for unique conversation pieces. More importantly, scientists study fossils to learn more about the earth’s geological and biological history.
