FOSSIL
.
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.
Fossil evidence is typically preserved within sediments deposited beneath water, partly because
Athe conditions outlined above occur more frequently in these environments, and also because the majority of the Earth's surface is covered by water (70%+). Even fossils derived from land, including dinosaur bones and organisms preserved within amber (fossilized tree resin) were ultimately preserved in sediments deposited beneath water i.e. lakes rivers,estuaries or swept out to sea.
Fossilization can also occur on land, albeit to a far lesser extent, and includes (for example) specimens that have undergone mummification in the sterile atmosphere of a cave or desert.
