Vocabulary Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms. Fossils are not the remains of the organism itself! They are rocks. A fossil can preserve an entire organism or just part of one. Bones, shells, feathers, and leaves can all become fossils. Fossils can be very large or very small.

A fossil (from Classical Latin fossilis, lit. 'obtained by digging') [1] is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood and DNA remnants.

Fossils are precious gifts from the geologic past: signs and remains of ancient living things preserved in the Earth's crust. The word has a Latin origin, from fossilis meaning "dug up," and that remains the key attribute of what we label as fossils.

A fossil is any remains or trace of an ancient organism. Fossils include body fossils, left behind when the soft parts have decayed away, as well as trace fossils, such as burrows, tracks, or fossilized waste (feces) (Figure 11.4).

Paleontology, scientific study of life of the geologic past that involves the analysis of plant and animal fossils, including those of microscopic size, preserved in rocks. Paleontology has played a key role in reconstructing Earth?s history and has provided much evidence to support the theory of evolution.
