They are generically called fossils.

Preserved remains are formed when the body of an organism is preserved and protected from decay through freezing, being trapped in tar, sap from a tree hardens around the body, or the body is put in a bog. (Like a peat bog.)
Fossils, although technically they are not preserved in the earths crust; the minerals in the bones and pore spaces have been replaced by other harder minerals which take much longer to weather.There are a number of different fossilization processes. See this link :How are Fossils Formed?
Deep-sea organisms have been difficult to study because the ocean floor is hard to get to.
Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the preserved remains or traces of animals (also known as zoolites), plants, and other organisms from the remote past.

It is a fossil.
Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record. Fossil are bones of extinct creatures that are said to live thousands of years ago. A fossil is the ancient remains of animals, plants and other organisms from the distant past. The word is from a Latin word 'fossus' which means 'dug up'.
tomb ,And Your cheating if this is for school.
No, a woman frozen in a glacier 15,000 years ago would not be considered a fossil. Fossils are remains or traces of once-living organisms that have been preserved in the Earth's crust. The frozen woman would be considered an ancient human specimen or mummy.

Well there are 3 types of fossils: Petrified Fossils, Molds and Cast, and Preserved Remains. Petrified Fossils are the organisms buried in the layers of sediment. Molds and Casts are the organisms, like shells, buried by sediments, in which they gradually dissolve. Preserved Remains are the organisms preserved in other substances. For example, entire organisms, such as huge elephant-like mammoths that lived thousands of years ago, have been preserved in ice. Therefore, Preserved Remains is a major type of fossil that does not form in sediments. This can be formed by decades of being stuck in the ice age and eventually falling through the ice and never getting out. Since you cant get out you get frozen! Being frozen and preserved in another type of substance in called... Preserved Remains! --Hope this could help. Thanks for reading.:)
