Fossils are the primary data source for paleontologists. However, the fossil record is "incomplete" because the conditions required for fossilization are incredibly rare.
Unlike biology, which studies living organisms, paleontology is inherently historical. It is a forensic science; the objects of study are fragments of a deep past, preserved through geological accident.
