It is called cryopreservation when something is preserved in ice or snow, a process used to preserve biological material at extremely low temperatures.
I'm not exactly sure of what you're asking, but what these fossils are called: its frozen fossils. What is preserved in ice or snow are animals like mammoths and polar bears.
My niece was looking for the answer to a schoolwork question that was a for a crossword puzzle "Preserved in ice or snow" also 6 letters. Turned out to be "Frozen"
Ah, what a lovely question! The word you're looking for is "cryopreserved." It's like nature's way of keeping things safe and sound in a cold, icy embrace. Just imagine a beautiful winter landscape, where everything is perfectly preserved for us to admire and appreciate.
Animals preserved in ice or snow are commonly referred to as "ice mummies" or "ice age animals." These animals are often well-preserved due to the freezing temperatures, allowing scientists to study their remains and gain insights into their past.
Ice and snow can preserve organic material such as animals, plants, and microbes by preventing decay and decomposition. This often includes well-preserved fossils or remains of ancient organisms. Additionally, ice cores can preserve climate information and atmospheric gases that provide valuable insight into Earth's history.
In theory, any kind of fossil can be preserved in ice, but among prehistoric animals, the most commonly found preserved in ice are mammoths and mastodons. We know exactly what a woolly mammoth looked like because entire specimens, hair and all, have been found frozen (the details of hair or skin most dinosaurs are depicted with is basically guesswork).
A preserved fossil is an organism or Animal that has been PERFECTLY PRESERVED for lots of years, or however old it may be. For example, a wooly mammoth frozen in the ice for millions of years would be known as a preserved fossil.There are 2 different types of fossil preservation- preservation with alteration and without. With alteration also has different types. The type of organism you are looking for depends on the how it was preserved.
