A living fossil generally refers to a living organism, animal or plant, whose species has been around long enough on the planet to be part of the fossil record. Most fossilized species are extinct, but there are a few which are either still in existence, or have descendents which closely resemble them.

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.
