What do you call a mineralized trace of a living organism preserved in rock?

A trace fossil can be anything from a coprolite (faeces) to a footprint. It is anything which proves the creature's existence without being the actual creature itself. For example, an ammonite shell is proof of its individual existence, but its faeces give us little information about its appearance. A fossil could be a cast, mold, or true form fossil.


Why do some scientists think that the fossils found on the martian meteorite aren't fossils at all?

All fossils are not the actual substance of the living creature but merely minerals that have collected in the hole the living creature left behind when its substance rotted away. Now when you have a 'fossil' in the shape of a complex skeleton its pretty easy to say that it came from a once living thing. But when you have a linear collection of crystals it isn't certain that it came from a once living thing or merely from a purely geological process. Also the martial 'fossil' is ten times smaller than the smallest fossil found on earth - a suspicious incongruity.
