Fossils that include bones can indicate the overall size of an animal, and how its structure was adapted for the environment. For plants, archaeologists can determine the general classification and how the plant may be related to modern plants. Fossils can also indicate how similar organisms changed in geographic distribution as later species took the place of earlier ones.
