What best describes fossil?

Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record.

Fossil are bones of extinct creatures that are said to live thousands of years ago.

A fossil is the ancient remains of animals, plants and other organisms from the distant past. The word is from a Latin word 'fossus' which means 'dug up'.

What can a paleontologists tell from fossil footprints of a dinosaur?

Paleontologists can determine many things. By the number of toes, their shape, the type of claws, and the size of the footprints, researchers can determine what type of animal the footprint belonged to. By the distance between footprints and the depth of the footprints, they can find out the speed and weight of the animal. By the size of the footprint, they can determine the size of the animal. The footprints can also show us interesting things about an animal's gait, for example, that raptors held their sickle claws up off the ground or that pterosaurs walked on their wings and feet. The presence of many footprints of the same type of animal can reveal that a species lived in groups.

A biomarker can be any kind of molecule indicating the existence, past or present, of living organisms.The term biomarker is also used to describe biological involvement in the generation of petroleum. (R. Kyei, 2013)
