fossil

Definition

The remains of living organsims, both animal and vegetable that lived in the remote past. Most exist as mineralised remains that are found in rock formations, however other traces such as footprints or organisms preserved in amber and in permaforst (e.g. preserved frozen mammoths) are also examples of fossils.

Translations :

Neben Abdrücken und Steinkernen sind organische Reste auch als Einschlüsse in Harz (Bernstein) und im Dauerfrostboden des arktischen Bereichs (Mammutleichen) erhalten.
