Detailed explanation-1: -Fossils provide important evidence for evolution and the adaptation of plants and animals to their environments. Fossil evidence provides a record of how creatures evolved and how this process can be represented by a ‘tree of life’, showing that all species are related to each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fossils provide evidence of the location an organism lived. Fossils provide evidence of the size of an organism. Fossils provide evidence of changes to the organism’s structure through time.
Detailed explanation-3: -These fossilised behaviours are known as trace fossils. Trace fossils can include animal footprints, bite marks, coprolites (fossil dung), or a preserved nest or burrow. They might tell us about how an organism moved, where and how it lived, what it ate, and how it hunted and socialised.
Detailed explanation-4: -The two differences between Fossil and Living Fossil is fossils are remains of dead organism in the sedimentary rocks whereas living fossils are living organism on the earth’ this surface. Summary • Fossils are remains of ancient organisms that have been preserved in the earth’s surface.
