All fossils are non-living. However, they are always created by living things. Fossils are either a form of preserved remains of a living thing from at least hundreds of thousands of years ago (otherwise they are simply remains), or they are the remnants of signs of a living thing from an equally long period ago (footprints, imprints, fossilized dung, etc).

A dinosaur fossil is a nonliving thing. You might think that the bone is what a fossil is, but actually, it's not, because even bones deteriorate over time. The fossil is made out of minerals and of the like.

A fossil is a nonliving piece of evidence, such as a bone or footprint, that provides information about past life forms. It is the preserved remains or impressions of an organism that once lived.
