the layer of rock it is found in
The process of removing fossils from the rock and other materials
excavation
A fossil formed when part of a plant or animal decayed underneath the weight of sediment and left an image of itself on a rock
carbon film
How does the outward appearance of modern animals help paleontologist
help make guesses about what extinct animals might have looked like
Jobs a paleontologist does
