Fossils Hunsters Fossil hunters are people who look for plants and animals that lived mainly during the Mesozoic era from 245 million to 65 million years ago Professional fossil hunters are paleontologists Nonprofessionals or amateurs are people who do not have the same training as professionals but do have the same excitement for finding the remains of life from ancient Earth
XTREME FACT Paleontologists sometimes study just one form of ancient life For example scientists who study only flying reptiles are called pterosaurologists Micropaleontologists study fossils so small they must be viewed with a microscope Paleobotanists study fossil plants Geologists study rocks and the fossils in them
