👉 A micropaleontologist is a specialist in studying small fossils, particularly those found within the layers of sedimentary rock. They specialize in studying microfossils such as fossils and ichthyosaurs that are found in the sandstone formations of the Earth's crust. These fossils are often microscopic and can be difficult to study due to their size. Micropaleontologists use a variety of techniques, including microscopy, radiography, and x-ray fluorescence analysis, to identify and classify these fossils
