PLANT FOSSIL

A plant fossil is any preserved part of a plant that has long since died.
Such fossils may be prehistoric impressions that are many millions of
years old, or bits of charcoal that are only a few hundred years old.
Prehistoric plants are various groups of plants that lived before recorded
history (before about 3500 BC).

ANMAL FOSSIL
A fossil, remnant, impression, or trace of an animal or plant of a past
geologic age that has been preserved in Earth’s crust. The complex of
data recorded in fossils worldwide—known as the fossil record—is the
primary source of information about the history of life on Earth.

HUMAN FOSSIL

Fossil humans comprise all prehistoric skeletal remains of humans that

are archeologically earlier than the Neolithic (necessarily an imprecise
limit, but approximately 10,000 years ago), regardless of the degree of
mineralization or fossilization. From skeletons to teeth, early human
fossils have been found of more than 6,000 individuals. With the rapid
pace of new discoveries every year, this impressive sample means that
even though some early human species are only represented by one or a
few fossils, others are represented by thousands of fossils.

THINGS FOSSIL
Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains,
of ancient organisms. Fossils are not the remains of the organism itself!
They are rocks. A fossil can preserve an entire organism or just part of
one. Bones, shells, feathers, and leaves can all
become fossils. Fossils can be very large or very small.
