A mammoth is the most likely animal to be frozen in ice, because it lived during the ice age.
The animal you're referring to is likely the "mammoth." Mammoths, particularly the woolly mammoth, are often found preserved in ice or permafrost, providing valuable insights into prehistoric life. These large, hairy relatives of modern elephants roamed the Earth during the Pleistocene epoch and are well-known for their impressive size and long tusks. Their remains have been discovered in various locations, particularly in Siberia and Alaska.
isn't that a wooly mammoth?
He was frozen in a block of ice.

Animals preserved in ice or snow are commonly referred to as "ice mummies" or "ice age animals." These animals are often well-preserved due to the freezing temperatures, allowing scientists to study their remains and gain insights into their past.
Normally we regard fossils as the petrified remains of life which have been preserved in rocks. Creatures that died in the snow and which were entrapped by ice tend to be "frozen remains" rather than fossils.To answer the question: the ice will contain the remains of whatever happened to be there. This will range from microscopic pores, small plants, and any animals up to and including wooly mammoths.

A preserved fossil is an organism or Animal that has been PERFECTLY PRESERVED for lots of years, or however old it may be. For example, a wooly mammoth frozen in the ice for millions of years would be known as a preserved fossil.There are 2 different types of fossil preservation- preservation with alteration and without. With alteration also has different types. The type of organism you are looking for depends on the how it was preserved.
In theory, any kind of fossil can be preserved in ice, but among prehistoric animals, the most commonly found preserved in ice are mammoths and mastodons. We know exactly what a woolly mammoth looked like because entire specimens, hair and all, have been found frozen (the details of hair or skin most dinosaurs are depicted with is basically guesswork).
unless the wood is hot/warm, it most likely not melt the ice.
