fossil
Significado
fósil, resto antiguo, evidencia de vida pasada, persona anticuada
Un fósil es un resto o evidencia de organismos que vivieron en el pasado, generalmente conservados en roca. Estos restos pueden ser de plantas, animales o microorganismos y nos ayudan a entender la historia de la vida en la Tierra. Además, en sentido figurado, se usa para describir a una persona con ideas o costumbres muy anticuadas.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "fossil" with "fossil fuel," which specifically refers to energy sources derived from ancient organic matter.
