Index fossils are original fossil remains, just a specific subcategory of them. Index fossils are used by paleontologists to identify a particular period of time and often a subperiod of time - the specific fossil is chosen as an index fossil because it is very specific to a time period and allows the other fossils and remains around them to be identified to the same time period.

What are the effects of oxygen on fossil remains?
Oxygen can accelerate the decomposition of organic material in fossil remains through oxidation. This can lead to the degradation and loss of important information preserved in the fossils. Additionally, exposure to oxygen can lead to the formation of minerals that can alter the original composition of the fossils.
