Fossils: Clues to the Past . 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 (1) ___ animal or (2)___ plant(3) ___ long time after it dies. Fossils are (4)___ buried parts of living things that have been preserved from (5)___ different geological time period. You can think of fossils as the ancestors of today’s animals and plants.

Scientists have uncovered more than three million fossils from(11) ___ 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(12) ___ 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. 1 ponto Imagem sem legenda A) (1) An / (2) A / (3) A / (4) The / (5) A / (6) A / (7) The / (8) The / (9) A / (10) The / (11) The / (12) A B) (1) A / (2) A / (3) A / (4) The / (5) A / (6) A / (7) An / (8) The / (9) A / (10) An / (11) The / (12) A C) (1) An / (2) A / (3) A / (4) The / (5) A / (6) A / (7) The / (8) The / (9) A / (10) A / (11) The / (12) A D) (1) An / (2) A / (3) The / (4) The / (5) A / (6) A / (7) The / (8) The / (9) A / (10) The / (11) The / (12) A
