To become a fossil, something must have died a very long time ago, as the process of fossilization takes eons. When people talk about a "living fossil" they are talking about a species which has been around unchanged long enough for members of that species to become fossils, like a coelacanth. Or more jocularly, you might be making fun of someone because of their age. ("Mr. Overthwaite, the math teacher? He's been teaching here forever. He's a living fossil!")
A living fossil generally refers to a living organism, animal or plant, whose species has been around long enough on the planet to be part of the fossil record. Most fossilized species are extinct, but there are a few which are either still in existence, or have descendents which closely resemble them.

Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas that are formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years. Sentence: The burning of fossil fuels for energy production is a major contributor to global warming.
I don't believe there is such thing as a living fossil, but you could find any fossil almost anywhere! Of course not in your kitchen, but any land of which you can dig into the earth of which the fossils decay.
yes it is
