Owl pellets are pieces of fur, bones, teeth, and any other indigestible parts that the owl is unable to digest, which are then regurgitated. Droppings are what is digested while pellets are what cannot be digested, so they are not the same thing.

No, owl pellets are not fossils. Owl pellets are regurgitated masses of undigested bones, fur, and feathers that owls cannot digest, whereas fossils are the preserved remains or traces of plants and animals from the past that have undergone the process of fossilization.

It is what an owl coughs up that contains the fur and bones of what they have eaten.

If they have been fossilised, I.E. buried and turned to stone, yes.
