A fossil is the remains, trace or indication of life in the past. So any organism, plant or animal that has a mineral or organic or inorganic matter that is not oxidized before burial can be fossilized along with traces like worm trails or dinosaur footprints, impressions of leaves or rarely of jellyfish. The most common fossils are minerals: shells and bone(calcium carbonate) or silicon dioxide (opal) along with the lignin of plants
