## Answer

Fossils

## Explanation

The term refers to the preserved evidence of past life forms, which is a fundamental concept in paleontology.

What to watch: The key words are "preserved remains" and "remote past." These are "fossils." One word is enough. Avoid "bones" or "ruins," since fossils include plants and traces, and ruins are old buildings.

## Hints

- Think about what you might find in a museum that looks like a skeleton or an imprint in a rock.
- The word starts with the letter F.

## Transcript

What do we call the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past?
