A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of an ancient organism, such as bones, shells, or imprints left in rock. Fossils matter because they provide evidence of past life on Earth and help scientists understand how organisms and environments have changed over time.

Il termine fossile (dal latino fodere, "scavare") in paleontologia viene abitualmente usato per indicare resti integri o parziali di organismi un tempo viventi; più in generale, viene usato per una qualsiasi testimonianza di vita geologicamente passata (antecedente all'epoca attuale): resti animali, quali ossa, denti, uova, conchiglie; resti vegetali, quali foglie, tronchi, pollini; evidenze di attività vitale (strutture di bioturbazione come tane e orme); tracce legate all'alimentazione (coproliti). Questo termine venne introdotto da Gregorio Agricola per indicare tutto quanto fosse estratto dalla terra scavando, ed inizialmente era utilizzato anche per i minerali, oltre che per i resti di animali e vegetali, al cui riferimento in seguito venne limitato l'utilizzo.
