What is the significance of human research on dinosaur fossils?

The study of dinosaur fossils can explore the earth's past environment from a variety of perspectives, study the evolution process of the earth, and also decipher the evolution process of life, find the law of world development, and take certain measures to help human development in the current living environment.

I think the significance of human research on dinosaur fossils is actually to understand what happened to the earth back then, and secondly, only by better understanding dinosaur fossils can we understand how we humans came into being.

1. Dinosaur fossil research is geological research. The laws of geological movement are revealed.

2. Popular science value. Explore the ancient mysteries and the world of paleontology, display prehistoric culture, and arouse the practical significance of human love for nature and environmental protection.

The significance of studying dinosaurs is largely focused on the value of geology, for example, what was the earth's climate and environment like at the time of dinosaurs? How did dinosaurs go extinct, in particular? The study of dinosaur fossils can study the evolution of the earth from various perspectives, and at the same time, it can also decipher the evolution of life.

Dinosaur fossilsThe formation process is:

Hard parts such as dinosaurs' bones and teeth are made of minerals. Minerals tend to decompose and recrystallize underground, becoming harder, a process known as the "petrification process." As the sediment on it continued to thicken, the body was buried deeper and deeper, eventually becoming a fossil.

And the surrounding sediment has also turned into hard rock. The process is extremely slow.

The role of dinosaur fossils:

The body size and life form of dinosaurs can be restored and inferred through the fossils found, but the color of dinosaurs cannot be found on the basis of fossils, so it can only be speculated based on the understanding of existing animals.

Paleontologists speculate that large dinosaurs may have had markings or spots as a protective color, and the colors would have been more vibrant. During mating, the head and part of the head of the male dinosaur may show bright colors like modern birds, which is more likely to be favored by the opposite sex.

The significance of human research on dinosaurs is actually to study the origin of life and the real reason for the extinction of this creature.

Studying history, studying dinosaurs can let people know what happened in that century, and let people know more about history.

It can help human beings understand the laws of nature, establish people's awareness of environmental protection, and explore unknown ancient times.

First of all, there must be some economic benefits in studying dinosaurs, so there is an incentive to do so, secondly, out of curiosity about dinosaurs, and finally for the sake of understanding the earth.

By studying the evolution process of dinosaurs, human beings have obtained information about the previous geographical environment, which is of great significance to the evolution of existing organisms and ecology.

1. After the death of the dinosaur, the soft tissues in the body disappeared due to decay, and the hard tissues such as bones (including teeth) were deposited in the sediment and were isolated from oxygen in an environment that isolated from oxygen.

2. In addition, the remains of dinosaurs, such as footprints, can also be petrified into fossils and preserved in time.
