What is living fossil mean?
To become a fossil, something must have died a very long time ago, as the process of fossilization takes eons. When people talk about a "living fossil" they are talking about a species which has been around unchanged long enough for members of that species to become fossils, like a coelacanth. Or more jocularly, you might be making fun of someone because of their age. ("Mr. Overthwaite, the math teacher? He's been teaching here forever. He's a living fossil!")
