Answer:
Fossils: They are remains of animals or plants in the past that were somehow preserved and buried under the earth's crust.
- One fossil can only give us a glimpse into the history of the time that particular animal or plant lived or breathed on the earth.
- For example, a fossil remains of a particular species of dinosaur would only provide information of the time when that species lived on earth and other information related to that particular time.
- Fossil remains of dinosaurs would not give us information on the time during the ice age or any other time in history.
Explanation:
- The study of various fossils can give us information about the development and evolution of living organisms over time but there are limitations to it.
- It may happen if we compare the fossil remains of an organism that existed billions of years ago we may find a time gap where there is no fossil evidence found so it creates a loop in information.
- Also, the process of fossilization is complex and long. Many species of the past became extinct without fossilization so we can never get information related to those extinct species.
- Thus, because of this reason we can say that fossils don't provide us with complete information about the past.
