∙ 12y agoA frozen fossil is an organism or plant that has been preserved in ice for a long period of time.
Examples of frozen fossils could be a mammoth from the ice age or the remains of a cave man.
In addition:What makes a frozen fossil important it that it contains the whole specimen of the creature fossilized and not just the bones and teeth like a normal fossil found in stone. This gives much more detail as hair, skin, muscle fiber, stomach contents and even possible DNA are kept intact as where none are found with a normal fossil.Wiki User
