Is a fossil living or nonliving?

Answer 1

All fossils are non-living. However, they are always created by living things. Fossils are either a form of preserved remains of a living thing from at least hundreds of thousands of years ago (otherwise they are simply remains), or they are the remnants of signs of a living thing from an equally long period ago (footprints, imprints, fossilized dung, etc).
