Package GeoSciML/Fossil

The Fossil package is provided for information only. It is not encoded as part of the GeoSciML schemas. Associations to other GeoSciML packages are all byReference only.

FossilMolds and TraceFossils are modelled as types of non-directional GeologicStructures. Fossils are linked to living or once living things by the Organism class.

Fossils that occur as constituent parts of rocks are described as particleType = "fossil". Fossils are linked (byReference) to living or once living things by the Organism class.

Fossil specimens are modelled as O&M SF_Specimen, with specimenType = "fossil". Results of observations on that specimen can describe the fossil.
