Answer:

Fossil fuels are the remains of an organism that lived in the past and have been preserved or their impression has been preserved. Fossils are studied to identify the difference (genetic and phenotypic) between past and future related organism and are carbon dated to determine the time in which the organisms existed. The study of fossils is called paleontology.
