What information do fossils give us?

What kinds of information can I get from a fossil? What is a fossil? Are fossils hard to find?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Fossils are remains of animals or plants that have been preserved. It might even be just a trace of them, like the figure of a leave in a stone. There are many, many fossils and some more beautiful and obvious than others.

Fossils can be pretty hard to find, depending on what you want to find. If you live near the ocean, you should stroll a beach with a lot of stones, and see what you can find. The chances are quite good in some places. A quite common fossil to find is the fossil of a Sea Urchin like the one in the picture I attached.

Fossils can contain a lot of important information about what species used to live on our planet, and they might even contain a lot of information about the weather and climate back then as well :)

I hope that was helpful :)
