Infer: If you uncovered fossils of tropical fish and palm trees, what could you say about the environment at the time the fossils were formed?
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
By studying the fossils we can get an idea about the form and structure of an organism and about the age of the fossil (how old the organism or that structure is). For estimating the age of the fossil carbon dating is used, that tells us exactly how old the fossil is. By knowing about its age we can determine in which period it was found. The climate and temperature of that era can be studied. Various environmental conditions in which this fossil was formed can be determined.
Fossils also give us information about what happen on earth at that time and what kind of organism are into existence at that time, whether they exist now or not. If yes, then what is the relation between them and other organisms.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
