1. fossilized

   Fossilized refers to the process or the state in which remains or traces of plants, animals, and other organisms are preserved over time, typically in sedimentary rocks. It involves the mineralization of the original organic material, essentially turning them into stone. This process, which often takes millions of years, allows scientists to study the history of life on Earth. Fossilized can also metaphorically refer to something that is outdated or no longer in use.

Examples of fossilized in a Sentence

1. Professor Long:

   In all my years as a kid collecting fossilized shark teeth around Victorian sites (I had over 500 specimens), I only ever found one half of a large megalodon tooth.

2. Phillip Barden:

   Fossilized behavior is exceedingly rare, predation( the act of predator attacking prey) especially so, as paleontologists, we speculate about the function of ancient adaptations using available evidence, but to see an extinct predator caught in the act of capturing its prey is invaluable.

3. Timothy Gibson:

4. Rick Potts:

   When our team determined the age of the Nyayanga evidence, the perpetrator of the tools became a ‘whodunnit’ in my mind. There are several possibilities, and except for fossilized hand bones wrapped around a stone tool, the originator of the early Oldowan may be an unknown for a long time.
