    Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms that have been replaced by rock over time. Scientists study fossils to learn about past life on Earth and how organisms evolved. The most studied fossils are those of dinosaurs, which lived on Earth for approximately 165 million years before going extinct around 65 million years ago. William Smith helped establish the field of stratigraphy by realizing that layers of rock could be correlated based on the fossils found within them, and that the types of fossils found could indicate whether the underlying rock was hard or soft.
