  • Fossils are the remains of living things (plants, animals, people), not of things that were made.

  • Artifacts are the remains of things that were made, not the remains of living things.

1. While planting my garden, I found an old bone. Did I find a fossil or an artifact?

2. While exploring the woods near my house, I found an arrowhead. Did I find a fossil or an artifact?

The answer is:

1. A fossil. A bone is the remains of something that was once living.

2. An artifact. An arrowhead is something that was made.

Artifacts and fissils are more different than the same. Fossils are the result of parts of dead plants or animals being replaced by minerals over the course of millions of years. Artifacts are things people have made and lost or discarded a hundred years ago or as long ago as tens of thousands of years ago.
