Fossils can be preserved in either ice or snow, also can be preserved in mud, coal, sand, silt.
It is called cryopreservation when something is preserved in ice or snow, a process used to preserve biological material at extremely low temperatures.
Ah, what a lovely question! The word you're looking for is "cryopreserved." It's like nature's way of keeping things safe and sound in a cold, icy embrace. Just imagine a beautiful winter landscape, where everything is perfectly preserved for us to admire and appreciate.
Fossils preserved in ice or snow are well-preserved due to the cold temperatures that slow down decay processes. The frozen environment can prevent decomposition and protect the fossils from scavengers and other forms of damage, providing valuable insights into ancient ecosystems and species. Scientists can analyze these fossils to learn about the environment, climate, and biodiversity of that time period.
In theory, any kind of fossil can be preserved in ice, but among prehistoric animals, the most commonly found preserved in ice are mammoths and mastodons. We know exactly what a woolly mammoth looked like because entire specimens, hair and all, have been found frozen (the details of hair or skin most dinosaurs are depicted with is basically guesswork).
Frozen precipitation is called snow.

I'm not exactly sure of what you're asking, but what these fossils are called: its frozen fossils. What is preserved in ice or snow are animals like mammoths and polar bears.
My niece was looking for the answer to a schoolwork question that was a for a crossword puzzle "Preserved in ice or snow" also 6 letters. Turned out to be "Frozen"
Animals preserved in ice or snow are commonly referred to as "ice mummies" or "ice age animals." These animals are often well-preserved due to the freezing temperatures, allowing scientists to study their remains and gain insights into their past.

They aren't actually Egyptian: they're mummies of various cultures from colder regions that were frozen in ice or snow. Like, if an ancient person were out hunting and got lost, and froze to death, their body would be preserved in the ice and snow until otherwise removed.
