What are fossils? What do fossils tell us? What makes a good fossil?

Many dinosaur fossils have been found in England. One of the very first was a fossil of a leg bone that was discovered by Reverend Plot more than 300 years ago. He decided the bone must have come from the leg of a giant. He didn’t realise he had found a dinosaur fossil! What can fossils tell scientists? Sample Slide Random Slides From This PowerPoint Show

Scientists found footprints that were made 150 million years ago. Dinosaurs walked over the soft ground and left footprints. Then the ground hardened into rock and left fossil footprints behind. Iguanodon footprints have been found in many parts of Europe and Africa. Like other fossils, these have told us a lot about dinosaurs. Sample Slide Random Slides From This PowerPoint Show

As more and more fossils are found in different parts of the world, scientists continue to learn new things about the dinosaurs. And we can go to museums to see their discoveries. Sample Slide Random Slides From This PowerPoint Show
