An original remain is an actual part of an organism that is preserved in one of these 3 ways:

  • Ice: One of the best ways to preserve a specimen, ice will keep the body, organs, tissues, or even hair in tact for millions of years.
  • Amber: If you have ever seen "Jurassic Park" you may know about this. Millions of years ago some unlucky bugs or mosquitoes were trapped in some tree sap. After millions of years the sap turns into a stone called amber, that preserves the insects.
  • Tar: Tar is a thick, oily, liquid that is very sticky. Similar to amber, some unfortunate larger animals, such as saber-toothed tigers, got trapped in the tar and died. After a while the bones of the creature are preserved, but the flesh and tissue is not.

What they all have in common is that they all have been preserved in some way. Making them the "original remain" of the creature that was preserved.

Original remains are the actual body parts of an organism, such as bones or teeth, while other fossils are impressions or molds of the organism. Original remains can provide information about soft tissues, behavior, and physiology that other fossils cannot. However, original remains are rare and may be subject to decay or damage, limiting their availability for study. Additionally, original remains may not always be well-preserved or complete, which can limit the amount of information that can be obtained from them.
