Fossil‏‎

Fossils (from Classical Latin fossilis; literally, "obtained by digging") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record. Fossils can be found on any world that has or had a biosphere. The fossils themselves are referred to as the fossil record. Paleontologists examine the fossil record to understand the process of evolution and the way particular species have evolved.Gathering, analyzing and evaluating the Fossil record of a planet is part of the survey done by Union explorers.
