Sometimes they can tell what a creature ate because they find other fossils that have teeth marks in the bones that match that of a predator. They have a lot of experts like dental experts that can tell a lot from tooth fossils alone. It has someone else said there are fossils that have left skin imprints, there are some fossils that have even left pigmentation cells so scientists can figure out what color they think it was. I'm pretty sure there was at least one feather dinosaur that left pigmentation cells so scientists could figure out what color it's feathers were.

I like to think of Mosasaurs as the whales and dolphins of their day, only much deadlier.
