◦ geologists, because their elevation is related to physical geology and fossils are related to Earth history
◦ oceanographers, because the fossils can tell us about periods when Earth was covered with water to the height of Mt. Everest
◦ astronomers, because they can study how life came from outer space to Earth
◦ meteorologists, because they could use the fossils as a guide to ancient climates
