Q.002)Everybody knows that dinosaurs once roamed the earth. But how do we know that fact? Dinosaurs lived many millions of years ago and there were no photos taken of them (or any people around to take those photos!) Yet scientists do have proof of dinosaurs, thanks to fossils. A fossil is what is left of an animal or a plant a long time after it dies. Fossils are the buried parts of living things that have been preserved from a different geological time period. You can think of fossils as the ancestors of today’s animals and plants. To be considered a fossil, the remains must be at least 10,000 years old. The fossil is then just waiting to be found, perhaps by someone like you digging it up from the ground! There are some other, more unusual ways for fossils to form. Scientists have discovered skeletons of animals that died instantly when a volcano erupted, their bones preserved in the ash. Small bugs or insects caught in tree sap can become fossils when the sap hardens into a golden material called amber. And animals trapped in sticky natural asphalt or tar can turn into fossils. The most famous example of these fossils can be found right in the middle of California’s biggest city, Los Angeles. Scientists have uncovered more than three million fossils from the Ice Age at the La Brea Tar Pits, including saber-toothed cats and mammoths. And scientists there continue to dig up more fossils all the time! Fossils give us a wonderful window into our past. Today the science of studying fossils is alive and well. Paleontology (pay-lee-un-tall’-uh-gee) is the study of the history of life on earth, using fossils as the evidence. So if you love dinosaurs and you want to know more about what happened on earth thousands or millions of years ago, maybe someday you can make your living by digging up fossils! 2.
