The modern use of the word ‘fossil’ refers to the physical evidence of former life from a period of time prior to recorded human history. This prehistoric evidence includes the fossilized remains of living organisms, impressions and molds of their physical form, and marks/traces created in the sediment by their activities.

An earthquake causes sediment on the seafloor to mobilize, rapidly burying a skeleton on the seafloor.

When animals, plants and other organisms die, they typically decay completely. But sometimes, when the conditions are just right, they're preserved as fossils.

Freezing, drying and encasement, such as in tar or resin, can create whole-body fossils that preserve bodily tissues. These fossils represent the organisms as they were when living, but these types of fossils are very rare.

A fossil is the preserved remains or trace of a plant or animal from the past. That's the simple answer to "what is a fossil?"

Plants can be preserved with a carbon film on a piece of shale, an animal bone can be naturally replaced by minerals and preserved, or a footprint in the sand can harden into a fossil.
