Fossils are the preserved remains, traces, or impressions of ancient organisms (plants, animals, etc.) that lived in the distant past, typically more than 10,000 years ago. They provide a record of life on Earth and are crucial for understanding the history of evolution, ecosystems, and geological processes.
Fossils are invaluable for several reasons:
Investment Potential:
- Fossils can appreciate in value over-time, making them potential investments
Understanding Evolution:
- They provide evidence of how species have changed over time.
Reconstructing Ancient Ecosystems:
- Fossils help scientists understand past environments and climates.
Dating Rock Layers:
- Fossils are used to determine the age of rocks (biostratigraphy).
Studying Extinction Events:
- They reveal how mass extinctions occurred and how life recovered.
Inspiring Curiosity:
- Fossils connect us to Earth’s history and inspire wonder about life’s diversity.
