Hi!
I just found your question!
Haha... We use a variety of different tools; to name a few: We use Geological Hammers, Chisels, Puddy knifes, and ofcourse eye protection, helmet, steel toed boots, gloves, and sometimes a reflective vest (depends where we are opperating).
And we also do alot on computers; We use computers (Sometimes laptops in the field), Microscopes, and cameras.
Hope this helps!
-An array of hammers, mainly the standard Geological hammer.
-Measuring tools such as calipers.
-Chisels.
-Laptops, 3d computer software.
-microscopes, Stereo and compound, mainly stereo.
-cleaning tools, such as air scribes, dental picks, brush's.
-Hand magnifiers, Lupe's.
-Cameras, or drawing skills.
-Journals/logbooks to document Field studies and important discoveries.
-Small containers (vials) for smaller specimens.
-Field guides.
-GPS system.
-White glue mainly for invertebrate specimens in the matrix (white glue because it is water soluble, you can remove it when you would like), and plaster for casting bones.
-Backpacks.
-Light chemicals such as vinegar, for small chemical tests (i.e. Testing for calcite)
-First aid kit (Safety is always number one- Put your safety before the fossil)
-Putty knifes, or screwdrivers (for shale and other soft, easily split sedimentary rocks)

What do scientists use the fossil record for?
Recording fossils No.
What are the four step scientists use to study fossils?
Scientists use the following four steps to study fossils: 1. Excavation - careful digging to uncover fossils, 2. Preparation - cleaning and preserving fossils, 3. Description - documenting physical characteristics of fossils, and 4. Analysis - using various methods to interpret the fossils' age, environment, and relationships to other organisms.
In Fossil Fighters how can you find fossils in the dig site Parchment Desert?
To find fossils in the Parchment Desert dig site in Fossil Fighters, you need to use the sonar to detect buried fossils. Look for areas where the sonar indicates a high signal strength, as this is where you are likely to find fossils. Use tools like the pickaxe and drill to excavate the fossils once you locate them.
How do scientist find fossils?
Scientists find fossils by searching in areas where sedimentary rocks, such as cliffs, hillsides, or quarries, are exposed. They use geological maps and knowledge of the age of rock formations to target specific time periods. Once a potential fossil site is identified, paleontologists carefully excavate and study the rocks looking for any signs of preserved ancient life.
How can scientists use fossils to determine environmental change?
fossils are used to determine the history of changes in environment and organisms because to see how they lived long ago on the environment and things like that
