👉 A fossilologist is a scientist who studies prehistoric or extinct animals and plants, often using fossils to understand their biology, anatomy, and evolutionary history. They study the remains of dead organisms such as dinosaurs, whales, or other marine creatures that were once alive but have since become fossilized in rock formations or buried beneath layers of sediment. Fossils are preserved forms of organisms that have been removed from their original environment and deposited in rocks over millions of years.
