State Fossils
Most US states have made a state fossil designation, in many
cases during the 1980s. It is common to designate one species in which fossilization has
occurred, rather than a single specimen, or a category of fossils not limited to a single
species.
Some states that lack a "state fossil" have nevertheless singled out a fossil for formal designation such as a state dinosaur, rock, gem or stone. fossil (fos‧sil) n. 1. A remnant or trace of an organism of a past geologic age, such as a skeleton or leaf imprint, embedded and preserved in the earth's crust. 2. One, such as a rigid theory, that is outdated or antiquated. adj. 1. Characteristic of or having the nature of a fossil. 2. Being or similar to a fossil. 3. Belonging to the past; antiquated. [From Latin fossilis, dug up, from fossus, past participle of fodere, to dig.]
