A fossil. Fossils are the remains or traces of once-living organisms preserved in sedimentary rock.
No. It was at one time, just as the bones inside you now are living.
yes
I believe it is a little less than a quarter of it's length. There aren't a whole lot of examples. A living fossil.
Coelacanths are well known from the fossil record of 400 million to 75 million years ago.

This is the astounding coelacanth ("see-la-kanth"), the fusion of life and time, that following a supposed extinction of 65 million years, head-lined into human consciousness with its discovery alive in 1938. Called "Old Four Legs" and the "Living Fossil," the Coelacanth quickly became the continuing obsessive focus of journalists, crypto biologists, scientists, eccentric explorers, aquariums, and divers . The African Coelacanths are dark blue, whereas the Indonesian coelacanths may be more brown than blue. They both have distinctive white flecks.
Coelacanths have been found off the coast of southern Africa near Madagascar.

Coleacanths were discovered in year 1938. They were made 300 million years ago. This is why they're called living fossils. They are saltwater fish.
The coelacanths are a primitive form of fish related to lungfishes and tetrapods They have been present in the Earth's oceans since the end of the Cretaceous period. They are presently found in the Comoros, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar, and in iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa. With this distribution the number of individual fish is probably in the hthousands.
Coelacanth is the common name for an order of fish that includes the oldest living lineage of Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish + tetrapods) known to date. Until its recent discovery it was believed that the Coelecanth became extinct 65 million years ago. There are only two known species of coelacanths: one that lives near the Comoros Islands off the east coast of Africa, and one found in the waters off Sulawesi, Indonesia. Coelacanths are elusive, deep-sea creatures, living in depths up to 2,300 feet (700 meters) below the surface.

its nonliving because fossils are like bones and things from the past
Fossil fuels come from once living things.
