Some paleontologists specialize in the study of particular organisms. Invertebrate paleontologists study animals without backbones, whereas vertebrate paleontologists study animals with backbones. Paleobotanists study fossils of plants. Other paleontologists reconstruct past ecosystems, study the traces left behind by animals, and piece together the conditions under which fossils were formed. As you see, the study of past life is as varied and complex as Earth's history itself.

they hav to be pretty dumb to be a paleontoligyst or hoeva you spell it dang stupid people and there dumb jobs
paleontologist
The antonym for paleontologist is living organism biologist.
Paleontologist
A scientist who studies fossil remains is a paleontologist. Woods, bones, and shells are the most common fossils. Paleontology tells us about ecologies of the past, evolution, and our place as humans, in the world.
Stuff to do with dinosaurs.

What are 3 types of important jobs that are significant to the economy of Houston
Please, it is three
There are three O's in paleontologist (studies paleontology).
There are three types of law enforcement jobs: Investigator, support and uniformed officer. Law enforcement jobs are very popular jobs with many employed.
There are many types of jobs that require the help of a janitor. Some examples are hospital jobs (doctor/nurse), restaurant jobs (waitress/cook) or school jobs (teacher). For each of these positions it is essential that the area be clean, which requires a janitor to be on staff.
That kind of scientist is called a PaleontologistPaleontology or palaeontology is the scientific study of life that existed prior to the Holocene Epoch (roughly 11,700 years ago).

Sedimentary rock is the type most likely to contain fossils. This is because sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and compression of layers of sediment, which can trap and preserve the remains of plants and animals over time.
