Solution

The paleontological evidence for past changes in ecosystems can be derived from "Fossil records". Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past. They provide a direct record of what organisms looked like, where and when they lived, and how they behaved. Therefore, they can give us a lot of information about past changes in ecosystems.
