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'.
