Study the image of the fossil shown below. how might a scientist use this fossil to learn more about the history of life on earth?

(Lets hope i'm right!)

When they identify the animal, they can see how it has developed and changed over time. They can also identify other things like what they last ate before they died in their poop. Lastly, they can compare and contrast bone structures.
