A fossil is a remnant or trace of an organism of a past geologic age, such as a skeleton or leaf imprint, embedded and preserved in the earth's crust. == ==
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).
Preserved remains of a living thing are called fossils. Fossils can be bones, shells, imprints, or traces of ancient organisms that have been preserved in rocks. They provide valuable information about past life forms and environments.
There is no such thing as a "living fossil". The Coelacanth was thought to have been extinct since the time dinosaurs disappeared until the first live specimen was found in 1938. Just because fossils of an organism have not been found for a long time doesn't mean they're not alive somewhere. The case shows two things, it is rare for any animal or plant to fossilize and how little we still know about the deep oceans.
The insect fossil would be examined for revelations about it's physical attributes and compared to other identified fossil and living insets. If the insect is unknown, it would be classified as a new species.
No, b) a common ancestor.
fossil
the ginko living species look similar to its fossil ancestors
its nonliving because fossils are like bones and things from the past
Fossil fuels come from once living things.
yes
Carbon is the component found in all living matter and fossil fuels.
Fossil
The Coeclacanth
yes it is
equisetum
I don't believe there is such thing as a living fossil, but you could find any fossil almost anywhere! Of course not in your kitchen, but any land of which you can dig into the earth of which the fossils decay.
A fossil. Fossils are the remains or traces of once-living organisms preserved in sedimentary rock.
