There are many things, which scientists can learn directly from a fossil, some of them are as follows:  

1. One can know about that when some groups of animals got evolved and who were their ancestors.  

2. One can become familiar with the kinds of organisms thrived at what times and where they lived.  

3. One can know something regarding the species, which no longer lives, comprising what they ate, their appearance, and other kinds of traits.  

4. One can know more about the drifting of continents by comparing it with the places where the fossil species have been found.  

the generally accepted parts of modern cell theory include: all known living things are made up of one or more cells. all living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. the cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
