Fossils, Geological Time Scale, and Applications in Nigeria focuses on the study of preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, known as fossils, and their role in understanding the Earth's history through the geological time scale. Fossils provide valuable evidence of past life, environmental changes, and the evolution of organisms over millions of years, while the geological time scale organizes Earth's history into distinct eras, periods, and epochs based on major geological and biological events. In Nigeria, the study of fossils and geological time is particularly important for petroleum exploration, mineral resource assessment, environmental research, and understanding the country's geological development. This knowledge helps geologists and engineers identify sedimentary formations, determine the age of rock layers, and support the sustainable management of natural resources critical to national economic growth.
