Fossil cork, flax, paper, or wood, varieties of amianthus. Fossil farina, a soft carbonate of lime. Fossil ore, fossiliferous red hematite. Formerly all minerals were called fossils, but the word is now restricted to express the remains of animals and plants found buried in the earth. 3. <paleontology> The remains of an animal or plant found in stratified rocks. most fossils belong to extinct species, but many of the later ones belong to species still living. 4.
