It also provides important insights into how environmental changes can impact ecosystems and drive mass extinctions.

How does the fossil record provide evidence for the Cretaceous tertiary extinction?
The Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction was a giant asteroid that hit Earth and killed many organisms. It formed giant dust clouds and enough heat to cause a worldwide fires. The fossils of the dead organisms gave out a story to the scientists who were researching them. For example, a meat-eating dinosaur ate a plant-eating dinosaur during the Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction. Soon after the meat-eating dinosaur ate the plant-eating dinosaur, the meat-eating dinosaur died. The fossil of the plant-eating dinosaur and the meat-eating dinosaur told a story to the scientist about what the meat-eating dinosaur did to the other dinosaur; then the other story to the meat-eating dinosaur.
